This week, First Nations’ Stewarding Native Lands teams shares news on the cost of Indigenous land dispossession in Colorado. The Truth, Restoration, and Education Commission (TREC) of Colorado collaborated with the People of the Sacred Land (PSL) to examine the cost of widespread land displacement and genocide of Native peoples in the state. The recently published TREC report examines the value of Indigenous homelands taken by the state of Colorado and federal government, finding that approximately $1.17 trillion worth of Indigenous homelands and over $546 billion worth of minerals were extracted from Colorado.

Cultural burning, practiced for millennia by indigenous peoples, plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and reducing wildfire risks. These intentional, low-intensity fires enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and help manage invasive species. Embracing cultural burning is not just about restoring landscapes, but also about honoring Indigenous Knowledge and Stewardship. As we face increasing wildfire threats, integrating these traditional practices offers a sustainable path forward.
Many Indigenous peoples in North America have long standing traditions of cultural burning, the deliberate ignition of fires for a wide array of purposes. With the robust participation of tribal members, a new paper tries to quantify the scale of past burning by the Karuk people of Northern California.

I don't know about you but I am tired of hearing people rush through land acknowledgements or say them with little feeling or meaning. It feels like they are being said so we, as colonialists, can feel good about ourselves. Like we are doing something. I recently listened to an CBC broadcast that spoke about how to make your land acknowledgements more meaningful. It lists three main points. Make your land acknowledgement personally meaningful, actionable, and actually do the work. Don't make it something you say but make it a reflection of the work you are doing. In my district we have a standard email signature that everyone uses and it is a form of land acknowledgement. There isn't anything wrong with it except that it isn't personal, it isn't mine. After hearing this broadcast I rewrote it as I wanted to do the work, make it personal and actionable. It still isn't perfect and I still personally have work to do but at least this signature is now my own. Here it is: "I acknowledge and thank the W̱SÁNEĆ people on whose traditional territory we live, learn, and teach. The W̱SÁNEĆ people have lived and worked on this land since time immemorial. I am part of a system that is built on colonialism that historically and presently causes harm to the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, their territory, and their way of knowing/being. I am actively working to help heal and repair this harm by better understanding the injustices that were and are still being done and working to decolonize my approaches to teaching and holding space on this territory."

Understanding the funding that lies behind our protected public lands is crucial knowledge for anyone wishing to see these natural treasures preserved and expanded. This is why our treasured public lands depend on bond dollars: https://lnkd.in/gtt6S4_7
