Indigenous People Reclaim Hundreds of Acres of California Redwood Forest

Northern California’s majestic redwood forest was once the home of Indigenous Tribes, including the Sinkyone people, that were forced from their land by European settlers. Nonprofit Save the Redwoods League has transferred ownership of 523 acres of forest on the Lost Coast — which includes 200 acres of old-growth redwoods — to the Intertribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, a non-profit group of ten Tribes.
