tribal land

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.

With such a wide range of membership from practice areas, areas of interest and geographical location, we try to have topics that are general to some that get down to the nitty gritty. In this episode, brought to you by the Indian Law Section of the State Bar, does just that.

This episode will focus on home loans on Indian trust lands. They’ll go over what Indian trust lands are, the particulars of tribal members owning land, what legal infrastructure is needed for home loans, and what native CDFIs are and their importance.
