#LandBack is Environmentalism

On this week's EcoNews Report, Gang Green and special guest Melodie Meyer, staff attorney with the Yurok Tribe, talks about the Land Back movement—the indigenous-led campaign to return political and economic control to indigenous people and tribes—and why rank-and-file environmentalists should support this movement.

Some local examples of Land Back:

• Yurok Tribe now operating Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh ‘Stone Lagoon’ Visitor Center
• Congressman Huffman introduces Yurok lands act
• Duluwat Island is Returned to the Wiyot Tribe in Historic Ceremony
