www.facebook.com/share/p/1LsvLEpx4J/?mibextid=wwXIfrThe nonprofit Trust for Public Land is set to facilitate the return of 31,000 acres of land to the Penobscot Nation. As a Maine Morningstar article shares, this “will be the largest return of its kind to an Indigenous tribe in U.S. history, without any easements or other restrictions.”

The article goes on:

“It’s a piece of a bigger shift in conservation thinking; rather than putting a premium on pristine and untouched wilderness—as centuries of conservationists have—multiple environmental organizations are acknowledging that tribal stewardship benefits the land as well as Indigenous sovereignty, even when it chafes against traditional conservation models.

“There’s something happening in land trusts and conservation groups more generally, not only nationally, but internationally, where Indigenous-led efforts are being seen more and more as the kind of special sauce around what makes conservation better and lasts longer and have greater impact,” said Darren Ranco, Professor of Anthropology [and Chair of Native American Programs] at the University of Maine and a Penobscot citizen.”
