As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

"content": "\u003cp>A turquoise, black and red street mural covering a section of the JFK Promenade with the words “We Are on Native Land” was vandalized on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passersby and employees of the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department first noticed the changes early Friday morning. The lead muralist on the project, Rachel Znerold, found out via text message. The mural had been finished just a few days before, in time for Indigenous Peoples Day. Now, she learned, someone had poured black paint over the word “Native” and written “no such thing” in yellow spray paint above the blacked-out word. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Aiko Little, vice chair, WGAW's Native American and Indigenous Writers Committee\"]‘We are not an imaginary people or people of the past. This is Native land.’[/pullquote]In response, members of Bay Area Native American communities called the vandalism an attempt at cultural erasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The recognition of our community has been met repeatedly with resistance and violent behavior,” said Mary Travis-Allen, advisory board president of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://americanindianculturaldistrict.org/\">American Indian Cultural District\u003c/a>. “Scraping paint off the ground does not erase us. We are here and present.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janine Laiwa — member of the Pomo Nation, mural painter, volunteer and community ambassador for AICD — said the mural was done in good faith and with time, love and thought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For someone to paint over the word ‘Native’ shows that racism against Native Americans is still a big issue in San Francisco,” she said.[aside tag=\"indigenous, native\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]This sentiment was echoed by Aiko Little, vice chair of the Native American and Indigenous Writers Committee of the Writers Guild of America West, or WGAW, and member of the Oglala subtribe of the Lakota people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not simply an act of vandalism, but an act of erasure that continues to linger behind the Native/Indigenous peoples since 1492. We are not an imaginary people or people of the past.

You know, pursue that topic in school, ask for help, meet people that have done that job to learn more about it. You’ll grow so much as a child into an adult, and your interests will vary quite a bit,” she said. “And so it’s exciting to take this opportunity to just chase down all of those dreams and never discount yourself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And Big Basin itself is in the traditional tribal territory of the Awaswas people, explains Valentin Lopez, Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no living survivors of the Awaswas people. It’s for that reason, says Lopez, that the Amah Mutsun “feel that it’s very important that we ensure that their lands are spoken for. That the Awaswas ancestors are remembered and never forgotten. And that’s why we work here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amahmutsunlandtrust.org/our-vision\">the Amah Mutsun formally established their Land Trust\u003c/a>, a vehicle by which the tribal band pursues the conservation and restoration of Indigenous resources — both natural and cultural — within these traditional territories, to steward these lands and restore historic ecological practices. (The Amah Mutsun Land Trust was also supported and sponsored in its genesis by the Sempervirens Fund.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s this same ethos that Lopez and the Amah Mutsun want to bring to Big Basin, says Lopez: “to bring back the traditional ways of stewarding and managing these lands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concrete ecological asks made by the Amah Mutsun include the management of tree volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maximizing tree growth on land like this “does not make a healthy forest,” says Lopez, who is advocating to reduce the number of trees to increase sunlight on the forest floor: “That right there is really important to take care of the insects, the birds, the four-legged who depend on that landscape there for their foods, and their materials — for their survival.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related is the Amah Mutsun’s request to increase the amount of open meadow within the park, of the kind historically stewarded by Indigenous people there. Such open meadowland was “really important to ensure the biodiversity within the forest,” says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, Big Basin’s natural recovery after the CZU fire provides a glimpse of that sort of change: wildflowers in bloom, like violets, recently carpeted areas of the forest floor.

For visitors, the park’s decision not to rebuild the structures that burned among the redwoods in 2020 will “allow the ancient forests to be a place where people can have a really natural experience in that forest,” says Spohrer. Officials also don’t want to “reestablish structures in a place where it’s nearly impossible to defend them,” says Spohrer. “That is not something we want to repeat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason for moving away from pairing old-growth trees with buildings is still visibly scorched onto the forest floor at Big Basin where those visitor structures once stood — namely, the ferocity with which human-made structures can burn. Not only is it “nearly impossible to protect structures in an environment like this,” says Spohrer, but several of the old-growth redwoods that stretched above those historic buildings were affected greatly by the intensity of the structure fires below them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid the optimism of planning for Big Basin’s future is the ever-present need to safeguard against the next big fire.

Tribes held annual controlled burns to clear out underbrush and to encourage the new growth of plants in a managed way. When those Indigenous communities were forcibly removed from their lands by colonizers, who also banned religious ceremonies, this cultural burning was severely throttled. Both California and federal authorities instead pursued a policy of swiftly extinguishing wildfires — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835084/to-manage-wildfire-california-looks-to-what-tribes-have-known-all-along\">an approach that is only just beginning to be reversed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, a history of prescribed fire around Yosemite National Park’s iconic Mariposa Grove — a group of giant, ancient sequoias in the park — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1979849/decades-of-good-fires-save-yosemites-iconic-grove-of-ancient-sequoia-trees\">has been hailed as an instrumental force in defending those trees against the Washburn Fire\u003c/a>. Prescribed burns reduced forest fuels in the area, and permitted the fire to move through the grove without inflicting damage on the sequoias themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This need for “good fire” has affected every aspect of the Big Basin redesign, Spohrer says: “By being selective and thoughtful about where we place infrastructure, whether it’s buildings or it’s trails or anything that’s the built environment, we can set ourselves up for the ability to do successful prescribed burning in this area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Restoring the sacredness to the ground’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I think when you come into this park now as it is even today [post-fire], you can start to experience what this forest felt like prior to when it started being more developed,” says Spohrer, who calls this “a significant change” that’s “been influenced by our tribal partners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this kind of physical evolution isn’t just about changing the way Big Basin looks and feels for the general public visitor base. For Lopez, it’s also about being clear on the kind of unique, special access and presence that the Amah Mutsun want, and need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez, meaningful access to Big Basin for the region’s Indigenous people is key — not temporary stints, or brief allowances in the forest, but the kind of physical and spiritual presence that deepens connection to the land. And the active stewardship that Big Basin officials speak about starts, “first and foremost,” he says, “with restoring the sacredness to the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One aspect of this access, Lopez says, is about enabling ceremony: designating a place to gather in the forest, a place to hold tribal meetings. There’s also discussion of what kind of physical buildings could be built at Big Basin for ceremonial purposes, such as a roundhouse that could be used “not just by the Amah Mutsun, but by multiple tribes,” says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919857\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919857 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Grey-colored steps with railings on either side, shot from below, with redwoods behind them.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steps lead to what once was the Headquarters Administration Building at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And just as with the Amah Mutsun’s Land Trust, research into the land and Indigenous practices once used there is a key concern for the tribal group when it comes to Big Basin — as is how such research requires physical access. The tribal band’s members want “to study how our ancestors stewarded and managed and lived in the forest,” explains Lopez. “What were their food sources? Where did they fish? What were their trade routes? What were the places of the rites of passage or coming-of-age ceremonies?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez is also keen to include concrete specifics in the conversations around Indigenous partnership in Big Basin’s future — the kinds of granular details that can often get left out of revisioning plans. He says the Amah Mutsun want to work with park officials to find a way for tribal members “that are stewarding Mother Earth and taking care of it in the traditional Indigenous ways” to be financially compensated for their work, rather than having to do it for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez has spoken in previous years about how \u003ca href=\"https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2012/12/21/healing-ceremonies-recall-california-mission-heritage/\">many of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band can no longer afford to live in their ancestral territories\u003c/a>, instead having to relocate to areas like the Central Valley. Noting that several tribal members would be “traveling from great distances” to do work in Big Basin, Lopez says, “This should be compensated at a fair rate that is equivalent to others who steward the lands as well, for other organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to conversations between California park authorities and tribal representatives, “we’re not shy,” says Lopez. “And that’s based on the relationship and the trust that we have so far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919874\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919874 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_BigBasin_09102020-1.gif\" alt=\"An image of a fire-blackened redwood stump -- taken in 2020 after the fire, with brown scorched foliage all around -- dissolves into a more recent image of the same tree, still darkened with burns but surrounded by bright green foliage above and below.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A before-and-after GIF showing the same redwood grove in Big Basin in September 2020, after the CZU Lightning Complex Fire, and in May 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For the Amah Mutsun, meaningful access to Big Basin also means California State Parks acknowledging tribal members as being the ones with “decision-making authority on everything related to our culture,” says Lopez. Yes, the group could “ask to hold a ceremony” in Big Basin, he notes — and park officials could grant or deny that request. But this kind of formality around ceremonial gathering within the park — wherein the Amah Mutsun aren’t able to steer the process themselves, for what could potentially be multiday events — could then plunge tribal members into a world of event-planning bureaucracy, and a permit process that covers every aspect from crowd numbers and parking to trash cans and bathrooms, says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not what we want. We want the tribal people to have those kinds of decision-making authorities,” he says. “And that’s the voice that we will be asking for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Truth telling\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“Our creation stories of multiple tribes tell us a Creator gave us the responsibility to take care of Mother Earth and all living things,” says Lopez. “Because this responsibility was given to us by Creator, we are the only ones that have the moral authority — a moral obligation to take care of these lands. And so that’s what we want to do: We want to work with these lands to fulfill our obligation to the Awaswas, and to Creator.”[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Valentin Lopez, chair, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band\"]‘If we’re ever going to have a healthy relationship with the state of California, a healthy relationship with land trusts, open space districts … parks, etc., they have to acknowledge and understand the history of our area — the true history, not the fabricated history.’[/pullquote]That moral obligation is one from which California’s Indigenous communities have been physically obstructed for several centuries.

Of California State Parks interpretation in general, “you read the history that’s on those boards or their interpretive signs and stuff like that — you know, the older ones, they don’t say a darn thing about Indigenous people,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of like the land was cleared and they just came in and claimed it, you know? And this was one of the most populated areas in North America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez and the Amah Mutsun, the deep wounds of California’s history of genocide and cultural erasure targeted at the state’s Native American communities make the need to return Big Basin in some way to Indigenous stewardship all the more urgent — for restitution, and for healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of brutality, an incredible amount of brutality. And that has to be acknowledged. And perpetrators such as the state of California, they have to acknowledge their responsibility for that violence,” says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have to understand that for them to heal as a perpetrator, they need to respect the Indigenous people and they need to work with us to help us restore our culture. To restore our spirituality. To restore our environments. To restore our Indigenous knowledge. And to restore our identities and humanity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand that it’s very difficult for non-Indigenous people to understand what we’re asking for, or what we need,” stresses Lopez. “Or to understand how to have a relationship with the tribe … But we appreciate them taking the time to try and understand — to listen, to learn. But for us to keep the conversations going, what we’re looking for is a healthy relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot have a healthy relationship if they think that this land is theirs because they bought it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Looking to the future\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The fact that two years on, the majority of the park will still remain inaccessible to the public upon reopening is a testament to the devastating nature of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire and the enormity of the task facing park authorities to make this land safe for the public again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spohrer says that, in the name of reopening Big Basin, park authorities continue to “focus on elements that we can do more quickly, along with opening up the trails.” For example, restoring the backcountry trails in the wilderness of Big Basin will be a far longer process, he warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a long haul,” says Spohrer, “a tough climb out from a devastating fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another much-loved element of Big Basin lost to the 2020 fire were the four campgrounds. Spohrer says that officials’ “overarching principle” is to “try and retain the amount of camping recreation that we had in the park prior to the fire.” But he notes that of all the elements of Big Basin’s return, camping is one of the ones that will take the longest because of the sheer amount of infrastructure camping facilities demand — and that it’ll be several years until campers can return to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Big Basin staff, talk of rebuilding the campgrounds comes with particularly raw memories of the campground evacuation that took place when the flames of the CZU fire began to become visible on the horizon: “a flaming front,” as Spohrer puts it, that “moved extremely rapidly” toward the campers gathered below. That night in August 2020, the campgrounds were full with summer vacationers, who were all successfully evacuated from the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919845\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919845 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing a California State Parks uniform and a yellow wide-brimmed hat turns away from the camera to point at the redwoods behind them.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Spohrer, state parks superintendent in the Santa Cruz area, stands in front of burned redwood trees at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was remarkable how quickly our staff was able to respond and to successfully get everybody out without loss of life,” says Spohrer. But those same staff who scrambled to evacuate campers lived close by, in park housing that had stood in Big Basin since the 1950s, and they had no time to go back and save their own possessions. Six of the seven homes burned to the ground, and “they and their families pretty much lost everything,” Spohrer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody in this region that was affected by the fire has been in a recovery mode,” he says. “It takes its toll for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways, it’s possible to see Big Basin as the inaugural test case for how a beloved California land rebirths itself after fire.

And Big Basin itself is in the traditional tribal territory of the Awaswas people, explains Valentin Lopez, Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no living survivors of the Awaswas people. It’s for that reason, says Lopez, that the Amah Mutsun “feel that it’s very important that we ensure that their lands are spoken for. That the Awaswas ancestors are remembered and never forgotten. And that’s why we work here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amahmutsunlandtrust.org/our-vision\">the Amah Mutsun formally established their Land Trust\u003c/a>, a vehicle by which the tribal band pursues the conservation and restoration of Indigenous resources — both natural and cultural — within these traditional territories, to steward these lands and restore historic ecological practices. (The Amah Mutsun Land Trust was also supported and sponsored in its genesis by the Sempervirens Fund.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s this same ethos that Lopez and the Amah Mutsun want to bring to Big Basin, says Lopez: “to bring back the traditional ways of stewarding and managing these lands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concrete ecological asks made by the Amah Mutsun include the management of tree volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maximizing tree growth on land like this “does not make a healthy forest,” says Lopez, who is advocating to reduce the number of trees to increase sunlight on the forest floor: “That right there is really important to take care of the insects, the birds, the four-legged who depend on that landscape there for their foods, and their materials — for their survival.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related is the Amah Mutsun’s request to increase the amount of open meadow within the park, of the kind historically stewarded by Indigenous people there. Such open meadowland was “really important to ensure the biodiversity within the forest,” says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, Big Basin’s natural recovery after the CZU fire provides a glimpse of that sort of change: wildflowers in bloom, like violets, recently carpeted areas of the forest floor.

Not only is it “nearly impossible to protect structures in an environment like this,” says Spohrer, but several of the old-growth redwoods that stretched above those historic buildings were affected greatly by the intensity of the structure fires below them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid the optimism of planning for Big Basin’s future is the ever-present need to safeguard against the next big fire.

Tribes held annual controlled burns to clear out underbrush and to encourage the new growth of plants in a managed way. When those Indigenous communities were forcibly removed from their lands by colonizers, who also banned religious ceremonies, this cultural burning was severely throttled. Both California and federal authorities instead pursued a policy of swiftly extinguishing wildfires — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835084/to-manage-wildfire-california-looks-to-what-tribes-have-known-all-along\">an approach that is only just beginning to be reversed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, a history of prescribed fire around Yosemite National Park’s iconic Mariposa Grove — a group of giant, ancient sequoias in the park — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1979849/decades-of-good-fires-save-yosemites-iconic-grove-of-ancient-sequoia-trees\">has been hailed as an instrumental force in defending those trees against the Washburn Fire\u003c/a>. Prescribed burns reduced forest fuels in the area, and permitted the fire to move through the grove without inflicting damage on the sequoias themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This need for “good fire” has affected every aspect of the Big Basin redesign, Spohrer says: “By being selective and thoughtful about where we place infrastructure, whether it’s buildings or it’s trails or anything that’s the built environment, we can set ourselves up for the ability to do successful prescribed burning in this area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Restoring the sacredness to the ground’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I think when you come into this park now as it is even today [post-fire], you can start to experience what this forest felt like prior to when it started being more developed,” says Spohrer, who calls this “a significant change” that’s “been influenced by our tribal partners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this kind of physical evolution isn’t just about changing the way Big Basin looks and feels for the general public visitor base. For Lopez, it’s also about being clear on the kind of unique, special access and presence that the Amah Mutsun want, and need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez, meaningful access to Big Basin for the region’s Indigenous people is key — not temporary stints, or brief allowances in the forest, but the kind of physical and spiritual presence that deepens connection to the land. And the active stewardship that Big Basin officials speak about starts, “first and foremost,” he says, “with restoring the sacredness to the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One aspect of this access, Lopez says, is about enabling ceremony: designating a place to gather in the forest, a place to hold tribal meetings. There’s also discussion of what kind of physical buildings could be built at Big Basin for ceremonial purposes, such as a roundhouse that could be used “not just by the Amah Mutsun, but by multiple tribes,” says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919857\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919857 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Grey-colored steps with railings on either side, shot from below, with redwoods behind them.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56383_060_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steps lead to what once was the Headquarters Administration Building at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And just as with the Amah Mutsun’s Land Trust, research into the land and Indigenous practices once used there is a key concern for the tribal group when it comes to Big Basin — as is how such research requires physical access. The tribal band’s members want “to study how our ancestors stewarded and managed and lived in the forest,” explains Lopez. “What were their food sources? Where did they fish? What were their trade routes? What were the places of the rites of passage or coming-of-age ceremonies?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez is also keen to include concrete specifics in the conversations around Indigenous partnership in Big Basin’s future — the kinds of granular details that can often get left out of revisioning plans. He says the Amah Mutsun want to work with park officials to find a way for tribal members “that are stewarding Mother Earth and taking care of it in the traditional Indigenous ways” to be financially compensated for their work, rather than having to do it for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez has spoken in previous years about how \u003ca href=\"https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2012/12/21/healing-ceremonies-recall-california-mission-heritage/\">many of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band can no longer afford to live in their ancestral territories\u003c/a>, instead having to relocate to areas like the Central Valley. Noting that several tribal members would be “traveling from great distances” to do work in Big Basin, Lopez says, “This should be compensated at a fair rate that is equivalent to others who steward the lands as well, for other organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to conversations between California park authorities and tribal representatives, “we’re not shy,” says Lopez. “And that’s based on the relationship and the trust that we have so far.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919874\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919874 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_BigBasin_09102020-1.gif\" alt=\"An image of a fire-blackened redwood stump -- taken in 2020 after the fire, with brown scorched foliage all around -- dissolves into a more recent image of the same tree, still darkened with burns but surrounded by bright green foliage above and below.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A before-and-after GIF showing the same redwood grove in Big Basin in September 2020, after the CZU Lightning Complex Fire, and in May 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For the Amah Mutsun, meaningful access to Big Basin also means California State Parks acknowledging tribal members as being the ones with “decision-making authority on everything related to our culture,” says Lopez. Yes, the group could “ask to hold a ceremony” in Big Basin, he notes — and park officials could grant or deny that request. But this kind of formality around ceremonial gathering within the park — wherein the Amah Mutsun aren’t able to steer the process themselves, for what could potentially be multiday events — could then plunge tribal members into a world of event-planning bureaucracy, and a permit process that covers every aspect from crowd numbers and parking to trash cans and bathrooms, says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not what we want. We want the tribal people to have those kinds of decision-making authorities,” he says. “And that’s the voice that we will be asking for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Truth telling\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“Our creation stories of multiple tribes tell us a Creator gave us the responsibility to take care of Mother Earth and all living things,” says Lopez. “Because this responsibility was given to us by Creator, we are the only ones that have the moral authority — a moral obligation to take care of these lands. And so that’s what we want to do: We want to work with these lands to fulfill our obligation to the Awaswas, and to Creator.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Of California State Parks interpretation in general, “you read the history that’s on those boards or their interpretive signs and stuff like that — you know, the older ones, they don’t say a darn thing about Indigenous people,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of like the land was cleared and they just came in and claimed it, you know? And this was one of the most populated areas in North America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez and the Amah Mutsun, the deep wounds of California’s history of genocide and cultural erasure targeted at the state’s Native American communities make the need to return Big Basin in some way to Indigenous stewardship all the more urgent — for restitution, and for healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of brutality, an incredible amount of brutality.

Spohrer says that officials’ “overarching principle” is to “try and retain the amount of camping recreation that we had in the park prior to the fire.” But he notes that of all the elements of Big Basin’s return, camping is one of the ones that will take the longest because of the sheer amount of infrastructure camping facilities demand — and that it’ll be several years until campers can return to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Big Basin staff, talk of rebuilding the campgrounds comes with particularly raw memories of the campground evacuation that took place when the flames of the CZU fire began to become visible on the horizon: “a flaming front,” as Spohrer puts it, that “moved extremely rapidly” toward the campers gathered below. That night in August 2020, the campgrounds were full with summer vacationers, who were all successfully evacuated from the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919845\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919845 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing a California State Parks uniform and a yellow wide-brimmed hat turns away from the camera to point at the redwoods behind them.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Spohrer, state parks superintendent in the Santa Cruz area, stands in front of burned redwood trees at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was remarkable how quickly our staff was able to respond and to successfully get everybody out without loss of life,” says Spohrer.

Hollywood or high tech. The beaches or the redwoods. And frankly, to a lot of Californians who live here, there’s a vast part of our state that people consider “drive-through” country: the San Joaquin Valley, which stretches from the Sierra Nevada to the Coastal range, from Stockton to Bakersfield. It’s a place that – culturally, politically, and geographically – could almost be its own state. It’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/podcast/the-other-california\">The Other California\u003c/a>.” That’s the name of a new podcast from our friends at KVPR that explores the richness of this region. Each episode takes listeners on a journey to visit a different small town. We chat with host Alice Daniel and reporter Kathleen Schock, and hear excerpts from the podcast, including a profile of an 87-year-old rodeo star, and a visit to the historically Black farmworker community of Fairmead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She mimics Angela’s playful, rapid-fire way of speaking, and recalls her joyful giggle and generous heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was so caring and giving,” Carpenter said. “Very helpful to the family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpenter raised Angela and her younger brother, Richie, on the Hoopa Valley Reservation in Humboldt County — surrounded by big rivers, forests and a loving network of aunties and cousins. Carpenter said that Angela was proud of her Hoopa culture and other Indigenous roots: part Mojave, through her maternal grandmother, and on her dad’s side, part Karuk and Yurok, neighboring tribes in California’s rural north.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Angela would join a much darker lineage — one that stretches back to colonization: Indigenous women disappearing, never to be found, and others turning up dead. Most cases, going cold. In September of 2018, Angela was shot to death at age 26. Her case is open but remains unsolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I miss talking with her early in the morning. I miss her hugs and her kisses,” said Carpenter, 53, her face mask emblazoned with “Justice for Angela” on one side and a red handprint on the other, a raw symbol associated with a growing international movement on behalf of Indigenous victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpenter said her daughter’s death inducted her unwillingly into an “MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women ) club” of family members who are grieving and demanding action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s no longer with us on this earth,” Carpenter said. “But I’m here, and I will always continue to be her voice to find out who murdered my only daughter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909395\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 432px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/NWCAtribalmap.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909395\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/NWCAtribalmap.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/NWCAtribalmap.jpg 432w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/NWCAtribalmap-160x213.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A map of reservations, rancherias and ancestral lands of the Indigenous tribes of northwest California. \u003ccite>( Bureau of Indian Affairs edition 2000, California Indian Trust Land)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A legacy of violence\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Violence has haunted Indigenous communities since colonization and persists at alarming rates. A recent\u003ca href=\"https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/249822.pdf\"> U.S. Department of Justice study\u003c/a> found that more than 4 out of 5 Indigenous people have experienced some kind of violence in their lifetimes. As for Indigenous women, more than half have been sexually assaulted. And, on some reservations, they’re murdered at\u003ca href=\"https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/223691.pdf\"> a rate 10 times higher than the national average\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A precise tally of the missing or murdered remains far out of reach, however, due to a web of systemic failures, mostly by law enforcement. In 2016, for example, the FBI’s National Crime Information Center\u003ca href=\"https://www.uihi.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Missing-and-Murdered-Indigenous-Women-and-Girls-Report.pdf\"> logged 5,712 reports\u003c/a> of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls. But the U.S. Department of Justice’s \u003ca href=\"https://namus.nij.ojp.gov/\">federal missing persons database\u003c/a> showed just 116 cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be changing. In recent years, advocacy by families of the missing and murdered — and by Indigenous leaders — has prompted a flood of new initiatives. At the federal level alone, there’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/28/917807372/savannas-act-addresses-alarming-numbers-of-missing-or-murdered-native-women\"> Savanna’s Act\u003c/a>, the\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-and-interior-departments-take-next-steps-implementation-not-invisible-act\"> Not Invisible Act,\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://operationladyjustice.usdoj.gov/\"> Operation Lady Justice\u003c/a>. All call for better training around data collection and better coordination among federal, state and tribal law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>States are stepping up, too. Assemblymember James Ramos, a Democrat from San Bernardino County, is the first Indigenous person ever elected to the California Legislature. His bill, which passed in 2020 and received funding last year, established the\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/nativeamerican/ab3099\"> Tribal Assistance Program\u003c/a>, run out of the state Attorney General’s Office of Native American Affairs. It’s just now getting off the ground, and in part funds research that aims to identify why it’s so hard to solve these cases, on and off reservation lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent legislative hearing on implementation of the law, Ramos detailed how that multiyear research effort will ultimately lead to more specific recommendations to state lawmakers “that will come back to this body, will come back to all of us to follow through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it turns out, much is already known about what’s broken — thanks to Indigenous-led research spearheaded by California’s Yurok Tribal Court and the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.sovereign-bodies.org/\">Sovereign Bodies Institute\u003c/a>, which focuses its research on gender and sexual violence against Indigenous people. That research has relied heavily on the experiences of survivors and family members — Tammy Carpenter included — based on the premise that it is Indigenous families who understand the roots of this crisis, and the pain it’s causing, better than anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909380\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-scaled.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11909380 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A woman with a facemask that says 'Justice for Anglea' points to a poster on a bulletin board listing a reward for an ongoing murder investigation.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1919\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-1020x764.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-1536x1151.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-2048x1535.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyBulletinBoard-1920x1439.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tammy Carpenter points to a poster on a bulletin board on the Hoopa Valley reservation in September 2021, seeking information on her daughter’s murder.

On one of their last visits together, Angela handed her mom an ornate Mother’s Day card, a compliment streaming from each letter of Tammy’s name: Tasteful, Attractive, Majestic, Monumental and Youthful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few days later, she’d write the poem that would wind up on her gravestone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>Music is my sweet life.\u003cbr>\nTogether as one against all others;\u003cbr>\nUntil the Lord calls me home,\u003cbr>\nMay I always be in His good graces;\u003cbr>\nSo, may it be the best year’s always,\u003cbr>\nThe never-ending Story of Ang … \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Angela would be called home at a tragically young age. She had been staying with her boyfriend, Michael Thomas Bingham Jr., in Redding. At least, that’s what her mother thought. But on Sept. 7, 2018, Angela and Bingham Jr. were found shot in the head\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/shastasheriff/status/1039668609566433280?lang=ca\"> on the outskirts of the town of Shasta Lake\u003c/a>. They had been camping on private land there, near his father’s house. His dad discovered the bodies, and his sister was the one who called Carpenter to let her know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpenter said she couldn’t reach law enforcement, and couldn’t understand what her daughter would have been doing on that land. So, she and her family made the long drive east to the Shasta County Sheriff’s headquarters in Redding. When they got there, Carpenter said, a group of deputies was standing in the parking lot, but “none of the officers wanted to talk to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she insisted the deputies call someone who could tell her something. A detective came outside and told Carpenter that Angela’s body was already at the coroner’s.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Tammy Carpenter, mother of Angela Lynn McConnell \"]‘She’s no longer with us on this earth. But I’m here, and I will always continue to be her voice to find out who murdered my only daughter.’[/pullquote]They’d identified her through her fingerprints. But because the gunshot to the head had badly disfigured Angela, Tammy was told she wasn’t permitted to see her daughter. That still haunts her. Just seeing Angela’s hands or feet, she said, would have given her a sense of certainty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We didn’t get to kiss her goodbye,” she said. “We didn’t get to hug her. Or hold her hand. We didn’t get to see anything, you know, so it’s difficult for all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what really got Carpenter off on a bad footing with law enforcement wasn’t so much the lack of answers that night in the parking lot, but the nature of the detective’s questions. Carpenter said he started with, “ ‘Did you know your daughter was using drugs?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was stunned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No child is going to tell their parent, ‘Oh, yeah, by the way, I’m using drugs.’ No. And then he goes, ‘Did you know she was living like a transient over there, like a homeless person?’ I said, ‘No,’” said Carpenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela had stayed in Shasta County with Bingham Jr. on and off for a few years, Carpenter said — always, she thought, in a rented room or with her boyfriend’s relatives. The drug use, and the camp where the two were killed, may have been relevant to the investigation. But to a mother who just learned that she’d lost her only daughter, it sounded like victim blaming, like her whole family was being stereotyped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said, ‘What are you trying to say? Look behind me. You see our cars that we came in? They’re all brand-new cars,’” Carpenter recalls. “‘And do you know where we were, do you know where all my sisters were?’ I said, ‘We were all at work. And we’re all educated. And by the time you get done, you’re gonna know who my daughter was.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909381\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2183px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909381\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio.jpeg\" alt=\"A woman wearing a face mask with a red hand on it.\" width=\"2183\" height=\"1654\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio.jpeg 2183w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio-800x606.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio-1020x773.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio-160x121.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio-1536x1164.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio-2048x1552.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyHoopaTribalRadio-1920x1455.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2183px) 100vw, 2183px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tammy stands outside KIDE, the Hoopa tribal radio station where she works.

Then another came and went. By the first anniversary of Angela’s death, Carpenter said, she was on detective No. 3. He has remained on the case, and she said she used to check in with him often, passing on what she’d been hearing. “It’s like, ‘OK, yeah, we’ll look into that, we’ll look into that,” Carpenter said of the detectives’ responses. “They’re like, ‘Oh, OK, here’s another statistic, another dead Indian girl. We can’t find the killer.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shasta County Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Edwards leads the major crimes unit, which handles homicides. He’s new to that role. He was actually one of those officers in the parking lot the night that Carpenter and her family came to Redding. He saw the detective come out and talk with her about her murdered daughter. In an interview, he said he regrets the pain it caused her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s never any detective’s intent to disrespect somebody’s loved ones, especially during a hard time like that,” he said. “It was probably a question that came out, maybe wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edwards called it “unfortunate” that Carpenter interpreted it as disrespect and said, “I don’t want her to feel that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for having three different detectives on the case during the first year, he said it’s just something that happens as people get promoted and others cycle in, and that it should not affect the quality of the investigation.[aside postID=\"news_11888051\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/dv-camag5-1020x689.jpg\"]Carpenter said she is thirsty for answers to all kinds of questions: Did the detective follow up on the lead she gave him about someone on the Hoopa Valley reservation who might know something? Did anyone check Angela’s cellphone records? And how long had her daughter been lying there before she was found?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the case is open, Edwards declined in the interview to get into specifics. But in general, he said, law enforcement faces distinct challenges in California’s rural north. Shasta County covers nearly 4,000 square miles, and the department is chronically understaffed. That can make it harder to solve homicides — of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike, Edwards said. He also acknowledged that a lack of trust with potential sources can land an investigation in the cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If somebody has information and they don’t want to talk to the police because of bad prior relationships, that’s hard,” he said. “We’re here trying to help. We’re trying to solve the case. If we don’t get that information because they just don’t trust us, ultimately the victim doesn’t get justice, because we don’t get that information which may break the case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Unheard, ignored, neglected\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>That issue of trust, or the lack of it, affects not just law enforcement sources, but relationships with victims’ families. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sovereign-bodies.org/_files/ugd/6b33f7_c7031acf738f4f05a0bd46bf96486e58.pdf\">research report\u003c/a> released in mid-2020 by the \u003ca href=\"https://yuroktribalcourt.org/\">Yurok Tribal Court \u003c/a>and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sovereign-bodies.org/\">Sovereign Bodies Institute\u003c/a>, “[E]ach of the families and survivors we spoke with communicated feelings of being unheard, ignored, neglected, left behind, and forgotten” by law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement agencies, the report continues, “must immediately work to correct wrongdoings, repair broken relationships, and hold their agencies accountable to do better by Indigenous survivors and MMIWG2S families,” an acronym that incorporates a G for girls and 2S for Two-Spirit people, who identify as what some non-Indigenous people might call LGBTQ+ or gender-fluid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those broken relationships with law enforcement are why advocates and relatives of missing and murdered Indigenous women blew up Twitter in September 2021, when they saw just how differently authorities, and the media, were treating the case of another missing woman: Gabby Petito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search for the white, blond aspiring social media star, and the national interest it garnered, was massive and immediate. So was the nationwide call that her killer be brought to justice. Multiple tweets pointed out that in Wyoming alone, where Petito went missing,\u003ca href=\"https://www.insider.com/710-indigenous-people-missing-in-wyoming-where-gabby-petito-disappeared-2021-9\"> 710 Indigenous people\u003c/a>, mostly women and girls, had been reported missing over the previous decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others listed off the names of Indigenous women who never received the same kind of attention from the media or law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AmericanIndian8/status/1457800092111491076\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the recent Indigenous-led research, other, more tangible wrongdoings include the failure of law enforcement to report Indigenous cases to national criminal or missing-person databases, the prevalence of racial misclassification of Indigenous victims, and the high number of cases classified as suicides or deaths by natural causes when it was clear that foul play was likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those factors have not come into play in Angela’s case. But the deep mistrust of law enforcement, that sense of being disrespected and poorly treated, most certainly has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greg O’Rourke is a Yurok tribal member from the villages of Morek, Noch-Kue, Kep’-el and Pecwan. He’s also the Yurok Tribal Police chief, and he understands where that mistrust comes from. He worked as a tribal police officer on the Yurok and Hoopa Valley reservations before spending a dozen years with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department, establishing deep ties with sheriffs’ deputies and top brass in both Humboldt and Del Norte counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Rourke said he tries to be a bridge, to help non-Indigenous law enforcement understand the roots of the poor relations — because he’s convinced that understanding and collaboration will lead to healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve had many deputies and other officers come to me and just ask, ‘Why do they act that way when we’re trying to help?’ Meaning people on the reservation,” he said. “And my response to that’s always been, ‘Do you want the nice, simple answer or do you actually want the real answer?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909390\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-scaled.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909390\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A police officer sitting at his desk.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/ChiefORourkePortrait-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yurok Tribal Police Chief Greg O’Rourke in his office in Klamath in September 2021, discussing trauma-informed policing and the roots of Indigenous mistrust of state and federal law enforcement. \u003ccite>(Lee Romeny/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>‘He goes and gets people’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>O’Rourke said the real answer is rooted in the past, and his explanation almost always begins with the Yurok word for police officer: K’ley-go’-mee-no’, which translates as “He goes and gets people.” His colleagues, he said, are generally blown away by the history lesson that follows, about the\u003ca href=\"https://www.nlm.nih.gov/nativevoices/timeline/488.html\"> Indian Termination Act\u003c/a> and the\u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/dawes-act.htm\"> Indian Assimilation Act\u003c/a>, both designed to assimilate Indigenous people into the dominant culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of that \u003ca href=\"https://carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/teach/kill-indian-him-and-save-man-r-h-pratt-education-native-americans\">‘Kill the Indian to save the man\u003c/a>,’” O’Rourke explains, “was forcibly removing Native children to go to\u003ca href=\"https://boardingschoolhealing.org/education/us-indian-boarding-school-history/\"> boarding schools\u003c/a>. And so, I would ask deputies, ‘If some government entity came to your house to try to forcibly take your kid, would you fight?’ ‘Oh, hell, yeah, I’d fight.’ Well, yeah, they fought back then, too. So, social workers who would come to pick up Native kids would need protection, and the people that they brought with them to protect them were uniformed law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jurisdictional issues also have complicated law enforcement on tribal lands. In most of the country, federal law enforcement agencies are responsible for investigating major crimes — including murder and rape — on tribal lands. But in 1953, Congress passed Public Law 280, which compelled California and five other states to take on that responsibility. That meant county sheriffs’ departments had to enforce those laws, and state law enforcement got no extra funding to do the job. Meanwhile, tribal law enforcement in these states lost access to steady federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upshot: Tribal lands were under-policed and remain so. When state law enforcement does show up, it’s generally not a positive experience. O’Rourke, the Yurok tribal police chief, tries to explain this to non-Indigenous cops, too, and he gives them a lesson on historical trauma, because that long history of forced assimilation and abuse by law enforcement has trickled down.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Greg O'Rourke, Yurok Tribal Police chief\"]‘Can you imagine that confusion and hurt of not being able to fit in two places, the one where you’re born to belong and the one where you were raised?’[/pullquote]“Can you imagine that confusion and hurt,” he tells them, “of not being able to fit in two places, the one where you’re born to belong and the one where you were raised? How do most people cope with that type of stress and rejection? A lot of them turn to alcohol, a lot of them turn to drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela Lynn McConnell had turned to drugs, at least somewhat, unbeknownst to her mother. She had also experienced another trauma that the research by the Sovereign Bodies Institute and Yurok Tribal Court found to be prevalent among missing and murdered Indigenous people: domestic or intimate partner violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That form of trauma is\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888051/where-did-this-start-in-yurok-domestic-violence-program-understanding-generational-roots-of-trauma-is-key\"> all too common in Indigenous communities\u003c/a>. And the research indicates a possible nexus with cases of the murdered and missing: Nearly half of the Indigenous victims in Northern California had experienced it at some point in their lives, the research found. In Angela’s case, she had so feared her boyfriend at one point that she sought and obtained a restraining order against him from the Hoopa Valley Tribal Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unknown whether domestic violence was connected in any way to Angela’s death. But the nexus is just one example of the ways in which better data, and an understanding of the human stories behind that data, could help lead to fewer tragedies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for O’Rourke, he believes that all law enforcement officers should go into the field being more aware of the trauma that people have experienced. That training approach is called \u003ca href=\"https://www.vera.org/blog/police-perspectives/building-trust-through-trauma-informed-policing\"> trauma-informed policing\u003c/a>, and is increasingly being adopted by law enforcement in other communities that have been historically disenfranchised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief is starting at home, with his own tribal police officers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike — working to remake their image as guardians of the collective good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Traditionally, the Yurok tribe didn’t have a warrior class or a warrior society. But we did have a village protector, that person whose role it was to make sure that the village was safe, that everyone in the village was taken care of,” he said. “They made sure that everybody had a plate, everyone had a safe place to sleep for the night, to a point where they would eat last, go to bed last, just to make sure that the village was safe. And that’s the archetype that I want to bring to this police department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said he’s on board with that approach. His department already deputizes Yurok and Hoopa Valley tribal police to enforce state law on and off tribal lands, which they otherwise would not be able to do. And he wants even more collaboration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some sheriffs just basically ignore tribal entities and do their own thing on tribal land and don’t include input from tribal government,” he said. “And I think we’re seeing a real shift.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honsal also has been working closely with Yurok tribal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909448\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909448\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1.jpeg\" alt=\"A women looks up at a large billboard listing a $30,000 reward for information leading to a murder.\" width=\"800\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1-160x156.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tammy Carpenter in February 2021 looks at a billboard in Shasta Lake that calls for justice for her murdered daughter, Angela Lynn McConnell.

A picture on the billboard of a smiling Angela, wearing stylish eyeglasses and plum-colored lipstick, looms over Carpenter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filmed in a video streaming on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/110366280767105/videos/241930900745961\">Facebook Live\u003c/a>, Carpenter made her plea over the roar of truck traffic, looking into the camera: “If you know anything at all about Angela, anybody that sees me on Facebook world, please contact that number.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carpenter also thanked the \u003ca href=\"https://www.hoopa-nsn.gov/\">Hoopa Valley Tribe \u003c/a>for everything it had been doing to step into the gap and help solve the case. When the one-year anniversary of Angela’s death came and went with no answers, she turned to tribal leaders, who paid for the billboard. Before that, they kicked in half the reward money. Through Danielle Vigil-Masten, the tribe’s MMIW coordinator, they also organized a march for justice on the anniversary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the spring of 2021, the tribe hired a private investigator, who is working not just Angela’s case, but also the unsolved cases of other murdered or missing tribal members. And those numbers, said Vigil-Masten, keep climbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each disappearance or murder stirs up the trauma in all those families who have lost loved ones. It also strengthens their resolve. Ten days after another tribal member — \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Bring-Emmilee-Risling-Home-100590942427495\">32-year-old Emmilee Risling\u003c/a> — went missing, Carpenter and her family, along with Vigil-Masten and other tribal members, returned to Shasta Lake for a prayer walk for Angela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor came. The city council came,” Vigil-Masten said. “People honked. And a lot of people came out from different tribes in the pouring-down rain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of that attention seems to have helped, because not long after, Vigil-Masten said, the private investigator got an important lead in the case. Shasta County Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Edwards said he had not known about the private investigator, but he is eager to learn of any advances “so we can go follow it up with our own investigators” and, hopefully, bring the perpetrator to justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Interviews \u003ci class=\"\">with Yurok Tribal Police Chief Greg O’Rourke and Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal were conducted by Romney for\u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/F9WOC73Al2SEvlrQI8Dva1?domain=courts.ca.gov\"> an earlier project \u003c/a>for the Judicial Council of California.

A recent\u003ca href=\"https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/249822.pdf\"> U.S. Department of Justice study\u003c/a> found that more than 4 out of 5 Indigenous people have experienced some kind of violence in their lifetimes. As for Indigenous women, more than half have been sexually assaulted. And, on some reservations, they’re murdered at\u003ca href=\"https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/223691.pdf\"> a rate 10 times higher than the national average\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A precise tally of the missing or murdered remains far out of reach, however, due to a web of systemic failures, mostly by law enforcement. In 2016, for example, the FBI’s National Crime Information Center\u003ca href=\"https://www.uihi.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Missing-and-Murdered-Indigenous-Women-and-Girls-Report.pdf\"> logged 5,712 reports\u003c/a> of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls. But the U.S. Department of Justice’s \u003ca href=\"https://namus.nij.ojp.gov/\">federal missing persons database\u003c/a> showed just 116 cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be changing. In recent years, advocacy by families of the missing and murdered — and by Indigenous leaders — has prompted a flood of new initiatives. At the federal level alone, there’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/28/917807372/savannas-act-addresses-alarming-numbers-of-missing-or-murdered-native-women\"> Savanna’s Act\u003c/a>, the\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-and-interior-departments-take-next-steps-implementation-not-invisible-act\"> Not Invisible Act,\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://operationladyjustice.usdoj.gov/\"> Operation Lady Justice\u003c/a>. All call for better training around data collection and better coordination among federal, state and tribal law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>States are stepping up, too. Assemblymember James Ramos, a Democrat from San Bernardino County, is the first Indigenous person ever elected to the California Legislature. His bill, which passed in 2020 and received funding last year, established the\u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/nativeamerican/ab3099\"> Tribal Assistance Program\u003c/a>, run out of the state Attorney General’s Office of Native American Affairs. It’s just now getting off the ground, and in part funds research that aims to identify why it’s so hard to solve these cases, on and off reservation lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent legislative hearing on implementation of the law, Ramos detailed how that multiyear research effort will ultimately lead to more specific recommendations to state lawmakers “that will come back to this body, will come back to all of us to follow through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it turns out, much is already known about what’s broken — thanks to Indigenous-led research spearheaded by California’s Yurok Tribal Court and the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.sovereign-bodies.org/\">Sovereign Bodies Institute\u003c/a>, which focuses its research on gender and sexual violence against Indigenous people.

But in general, he said, law enforcement faces distinct challenges in California’s rural north. Shasta County covers nearly 4,000 square miles, and the department is chronically understaffed. That can make it harder to solve homicides — of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike, Edwards said. He also acknowledged that a lack of trust with potential sources can land an investigation in the cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If somebody has information and they don’t want to talk to the police because of bad prior relationships, that’s hard,” he said. “We’re here trying to help.

And so, I would ask deputies, ‘If some government entity came to your house to try to forcibly take your kid, would you fight?’ ‘Oh, hell, yeah, I’d fight.’ Well, yeah, they fought back then, too. So, social workers who would come to pick up Native kids would need protection, and the people that they brought with them to protect them were uniformed law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jurisdictional issues also have complicated law enforcement on tribal lands. In most of the country, federal law enforcement agencies are responsible for investigating major crimes — including murder and rape — on tribal lands. But in 1953, Congress passed Public Law 280, which compelled California and five other states to take on that responsibility. That meant county sheriffs’ departments had to enforce those laws, and state law enforcement got no extra funding to do the job. Meanwhile, tribal law enforcement in these states lost access to steady federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upshot: Tribal lands were under-policed and remain so. When state law enforcement does show up, it’s generally not a positive experience. O’Rourke, the Yurok tribal police chief, tries to explain this to non-Indigenous cops, too, and he gives them a lesson on historical trauma, because that long history of forced assimilation and abuse by law enforcement has trickled down.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How do most people cope with that type of stress and rejection? A lot of them turn to alcohol, a lot of them turn to drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela Lynn McConnell had turned to drugs, at least somewhat, unbeknownst to her mother. She had also experienced another trauma that the research by the Sovereign Bodies Institute and Yurok Tribal Court found to be prevalent among missing and murdered Indigenous people: domestic or intimate partner violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That form of trauma is\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888051/where-did-this-start-in-yurok-domestic-violence-program-understanding-generational-roots-of-trauma-is-key\"> all too common in Indigenous communities\u003c/a>. And the research indicates a possible nexus with cases of the murdered and missing: Nearly half of the Indigenous victims in Northern California had experienced it at some point in their lives, the research found. In Angela’s case, she had so feared her boyfriend at one point that she sought and obtained a restraining order against him from the Hoopa Valley Tribal Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unknown whether domestic violence was connected in any way to Angela’s death. But the nexus is just one example of the ways in which better data, and an understanding of the human stories behind that data, could help lead to fewer tragedies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for O’Rourke, he believes that all law enforcement officers should go into the field being more aware of the trauma that people have experienced. That training approach is called \u003ca href=\"https://www.vera.org/blog/police-perspectives/building-trust-through-trauma-informed-policing\"> trauma-informed policing\u003c/a>, and is increasingly being adopted by law enforcement in other communities that have been historically disenfranchised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief is starting at home, with his own tribal police officers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike — working to remake their image as guardians of the collective good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Traditionally, the Yurok tribe didn’t have a warrior class or a warrior society. But we did have a village protector, that person whose role it was to make sure that the village was safe, that everyone in the village was taken care of,” he said. “They made sure that everybody had a plate, everyone had a safe place to sleep for the night, to a point where they would eat last, go to bed last, just to make sure that the village was safe. And that’s the archetype that I want to bring to this police department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said he’s on board with that approach. His department already deputizes Yurok and Hoopa Valley tribal police to enforce state law on and off tribal lands, which they otherwise would not be able to do. And he wants even more collaboration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some sheriffs just basically ignore tribal entities and do their own thing on tribal land and don’t include input from tribal government,” he said. “And I think we’re seeing a real shift.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honsal also has been working closely with Yurok tribal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909448\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11909448\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1.jpeg\" alt=\"A women looks up at a large billboard listing a $30,000 reward for information leading to a murder.\" width=\"800\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/TammyPondersBillboard-1-160x156.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tammy Carpenter in February 2021 looks at a billboard in Shasta Lake that calls for justice for her murdered daughter, Angela Lynn McConnell.

When the one-year anniversary of Angela’s death came and went with no answers, she turned to tribal leaders, who paid for the billboard. Before that, they kicked in half the reward money. Through Danielle Vigil-Masten, the tribe’s MMIW coordinator, they also organized a march for justice on the anniversary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the spring of 2021, the tribe hired a private investigator, who is working not just Angela’s case, but also the unsolved cases of other murdered or missing tribal members. And those numbers, said Vigil-Masten, keep climbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each disappearance or murder stirs up the trauma in all those families who have lost loved ones. It also strengthens their resolve. Ten days after another tribal member — \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Bring-Emmilee-Risling-Home-100590942427495\">32-year-old Emmilee Risling\u003c/a> — went missing, Carpenter and her family, along with Vigil-Masten and other tribal members, returned to Shasta Lake for a prayer walk for Angela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mayor came. The city council came,” Vigil-Masten said. “People honked. And a lot of people came out from different tribes in the pouring-down rain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of that attention seems to have helped, because not long after, Vigil-Masten said, the private investigator got an important lead in the case. Shasta County Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Edwards said he had not known about the private investigator, but he is eager to learn of any advances “so we can go follow it up with our own investigators” and, hopefully, bring the perpetrator to justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The action was based on an established legal principle of reclaiming abandoned federal lands for Native use. The group’s claim came after years of watching the U.S. government terminate the status of over 100 tribes and remove approximately \u003ca href=\"http://www.nativepartnership.org/site/PageServer?pagename=PWNA_Native_History_terminationpolicySW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2,500,000 acres of trust land from protected status\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be fitting and symbolic that ships from all over the world, entering the Golden Gate, would first see Indian land, and thus be reminded of the true history of this nation,” one of the young occupation leaders, Richard Oakes, told news cameras that day. “This tiny island would be a symbol of the great lands once ruled by free and noble Indians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters Saturday, Oakes’s son, Richard Oakes Jr., echoed the words of his late father: “Alcatraz is not an island. It’s an idea, right? The idea that the conditions of the island are the same or similar to reservations throughout the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists are still calling for the original demands made 52 years ago. War Jack told the crowd on Saturday that the effort to recognize Native Americans on Alcatraz Island with a cultural center is again moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11897065\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11897065\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/RS52613_048_Alcatraz_InteriorSecretaryDebHaaland_11202021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man is in the foreground, blurred, seen speaking to a crowd of seated people inside a building on Alcatraz Island.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/RS52613_048_Alcatraz_InteriorSecretaryDebHaaland_11202021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/RS52613_048_Alcatraz_InteriorSecretaryDebHaaland_11202021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/RS52613_048_Alcatraz_InteriorSecretaryDebHaaland_11202021-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/RS52613_048_Alcatraz_InteriorSecretaryDebHaaland_11202021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/RS52613_048_Alcatraz_InteriorSecretaryDebHaaland_11202021-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eloy Martinez speaks at Alcatraz Island on Nov. 20, 2021, on the 52nd anniversary of the occupation of Alcatraz.
