Part of the preparation for this was a semester-long academy program. For six weeks, I was in Chile kayaking and going to school down there and I did that twice, once my 8th grade year and then once my freshman year.

I was able to, as a filmmaker, film the dams, the deconstruction of them and then to come back later and film the first descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was really remarkable to see the difference and how the river was already starting to heal.

And then when we got to the lake, it felt like an ocean. I thought I was prepared. We were not prepared. There was water coming over the sides of the canoe, splashing on the camera gear.

The move dismantled Pomo reservations, like the Potter Valley Rancheria, revoked their federal status and left these tribes landless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was, until the 1980s, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.narf.org/nill/bulletins/federal/documents/hardwick.html\">Tillie Hardwick,\u003c/a> a Pomo Indian woman, sued the federal government in a class action lawsuit and won, immediately restoring 17 California tribes’ federal status and creating precedent for more in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Potter Valley Tribe — and many others included in the suit — would nonetheless remain mostly landless until the early 2000s. But when Rosales became chairman in 2003, he said he saw it as his mission to slowly but surely buy back the tribe’s ancestral lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The quest began with a federal grant to buy a 4-acre parcel in Redwood Valley for housing for tribe members. And since then, via grants, land donations and money earned from the gaming industry, the tribe has purchased a checkerboard totaling more than 1,000 acres — the majority of it undeveloped forest — across Mendocino County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unbelievable,” Rosales said, of the tribe’s progress in reacquiring their land. When family and friends ask him about the tribal council’s continual investments in land, he said he tells them that there’s “never been an opportunity like this” in previous years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosales and the tribe worked with the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.tpl.org/our-work/community-forests\">Trust for Public Land\u003c/a>, which has now helped establish 45 community forests nationwide, protecting 43,000 acres through this grant alone.[aside postID=science_1999301 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2025/11/KQED_PRESCRIBED-BURN_AT_257_QED-KQED.jpg'] The trust’s North Coast Project Manager Jeff Conti said the agency’s primary role is to help tribes navigate the sometimes long and convoluted processes to get land back in the hands of those working to conserve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However we can plug in, whether it’s providing technical assistance, whether it’s helping fundraise, or just doing the whole transaction, we can help,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after the tribe won the grant, it took six years before they found themselves in the right place and time with this particular property — and for this forest to be returned to its ancestral caretakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the end,” Rosales said, “it paid off to be patient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Keeping history and tradition alive\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Being effectively landless has affected the Pomo people in deep, lasting ways, Rosales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of his ancestors were farm ranch hands, chasing seasonal work throughout the Potter and Ukiah valleys to make ends meet, he said.

The labor group is seeking higher wages and increased benefits for grocery store employees, among other concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have been in round-the-clock negotiations since yesterday morning and continuing through the day. There’s been some progress, but not enough as it stands,” Jim Araby, a spokesperson for UFCW Local 5 in Hayward, said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While UFCW and Safeway leaders are still at the bargaining table alongside a federal mediator, Araby is skeptical they will be able to reach an agreement and have workers vote on it before the union’s deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 200 Safeway stores could be blocked by picket lines if a strike occurs, Araby said, adding that 95% of union members voted to approve the strike earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers have been unable to keep up with exorbitant cost-of-living increases in the Bay Area, and health care costs have also gone up for the union’s members, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12049786\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12049786\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tractor trailer exits Safeway’s Northern California Distribution Center in Tracy, on Jan. 17, 2025. \u003ccite>(David M.
