Largest #LandBack in California history! ❤️ Congratulations to theyuroktribe, who have completed a 23-year effort to reclaim 47,097 acres of ancestral lands along the Klamath River and Blue Creek watershed, serving as a vital cold-water lifeline for salmon. The $56M land transfer, once commercial timberland, was finalized in partnership with WesternRiversConservancy and more than doubles the Tribe’s land base. Now home to the Blue Creek Salmon Sanctuary and the Yurok Tribal Community Forest, the lands will be protected for fish, wildlife, and future generations. With dam removals reopening salmon runs, this is a major milestone for Tribal sovereignty and ecological restoration. 🤲🏼🌱 Drop your thoughts and help celebrate this historic #LandBack win in the comments! 💭⤵️ (via theyuroktribe, sfchronicle) #YurokTribe #Klamath #IndigenousSovereignty
