The Yurok and Karuk peoples fought for decades to remove dams on the Klamath River, which decimated salmon populations and riparian ecosystems vital to their traditional lifeways. In 2022, the US government agreed to remove four dams, launching the largest river restoration project in US history. This monumental achievement highlights tribal activism and groundbreaking partnerships.

Learn about this success, culture-based restoration, and tribal collaboration with state and federal governments. This talk, delivered at the 2023 Bioneers Conference, was moderated by Cara Romero, with Samuel Gensaw, Isaac Kinney, and Craig Tucker. For more information, visit bioneers.org.

Amid growing success in Indigenous-led #landback campaigns and triumphs over extraction, this session highlights the crucial link between land restoration and addressing collective trauma. It explores how #landback efforts can benefit from including Black and other marginalized groups, and critically examines if ‘call out culture’ hinders decolonization movements.

Moderated by Eriel Deranger, with Jodie Geddes and Carlee Loft, panelists will share practical strategies. These include an intergenerational focus, ceremony, and spending time on the land.

I recorded this video last week on a cliff in Thacker Pass. While the lithium mining battle there is a local dispute over habitat and indigenous rights, it also represents a new frontier in the extraction economy. The search for oil "replacements" like lithium perpetuates similar environmental harm and community destruction, repeating old patterns of abuse.

This situation at Thacker Pass is emblematic of a deeper societal struggle: the conflict between our destructive impulses and our higher selves. Read more at maxwilbert.substack.com.

Indigenous Peoples, comprising 5% of the global population, safeguard 80% of the world's biodiversity. This fact underscores their critical role as experts in resource management and climate action, yet their knowledge is often undervalued in institutional spaces.

To move beyond mere acknowledgment, we must center and strengthen Indigenous rights in climate initiatives. Indigenous Rights activist Jade Begay will share insights on the progress of Indigenous leadership and how to empower it—a necessity for planetary survival.

Erin Matariki Carr, a Maori lawyer and member of RIVER, is a leader in Aotearoa New Zealand's movement for constitutional transformation, honoring Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1840. This movement challenges human superiority over land. A key initiative is the legal personhood granted to Te Urewera rainforest, ancestral homelands of Ngāi Tūhoe. This innovative approach removes human ownership, establishing a new kawa (law) focused on management for the land's benefit.

Carr previously helped implement policies for Te Urewera's legal personhood. As a project lead at RIVER, she continues to advance constitutional transformation, collaborating with groups like Tūmanako Consultants and Te Kuaka NZA.
