Short Description of Activity
Information and video addressing Forest practices, the challenges and opportunities, and the future vision of Indigenous Forest management and co-management.
America’s first stewards, tribes, have cared for the natural resources that have sustained their cultures and economies for countless generations. Those countless generations remain within the land. Despite environmental, economic, social, legal, and cultural trauma, diminished capacity, and barriers to education and technical assistance, tribes have remained committed to sustaining their relatives, the land, water, forests, fish, wildlife, insects, plants, and even fungi. Tribal efforts to care for our shared environment deserve the support of those who care about the future of our planet.
