Indigenous communities are key to 30 by 30
President Biden has laid out a 10-year goal of conserving 30 percent of the U.S. by 2030, an inclusive and bold vision for safeguarding America s lands, water, and wildlife that will support the efforts of people across the country, including rural communities, tribal nations, private landowners, and many others on the frontlines of conserving, stewarding, restoring, using, and enjoying nature.
The Northern Chumash Tribal Council applauds the Biden administration s initial 30 by 30 analysis and commitment not only to conservation, but to cooperative protection of our lands and ocean. We thank President Biden and his administration for making conservation, protection, and the movement toward 30 by 30 a priority.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - New street signs are up in one Santa Barbara neighborhood.
Indio Muerto was renamed and is now officially Hutash Street.
A virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Monday afternoon to unveil the new name.
Earlier this year, the Barbareño Chumash Tribal Council requested the name change. Indio Muerto means Dead Indian in Spanish. In September, the Santa Barbara City Council determined the street name was offensive and voted to change it.
The new street name Hutash means Mother Earth.
