Clarification from Maija: At around 43 minutes- I say “at best” is a comanagement agreement, but of course, full land return is a goal for many Nations. What I was meaning, but didn’t say, is that this option can be “best,” if the title to land will not transfer (land return) to a Tribe/Nation, then a co-management agreement can be a strong tool. Especially in California, because some Nations we work with have shared that they would prefer sharing the responsibility with a trusted third-party partner, like a land trust, as long as the written agreement is culturally appropriate and has a strong set of protocols for addressing issues or challenges through peacemaking.
