Wiyot Tribe Celebrates the Return of Coastal Forest & Wetlands

In July, the Wiyot Tribe finalized the acquisition of a 46-acre coastal property in the ecologically and culturally significant Wiyot place of Mouralherwaqh or “wolf’s house,” which will be prioritized for ecocultural restoration purposes. The property is located at the present day site known as King Salmon at the base of Humboldt Hill and represents the first forestland to be returned to the Tribe. Tribal citizens Cheryl Seidner and Hilanea Wilkinson, Wiyot Tribal Natural Resources Director Adam Canter, and Cal Poly Humboldt Professor Laurie Richmond join Gang Green to talk about this historic return of tribal ancestral territory and what #LandBack means to the Wiyot Tribe.For more info:Reclaiming Mouralherwaqh: Wiyot Tribe Acquires Coastal Property for Cultural and Water Quality ProtectionSupport the show
