“A female-led trust working to return East Bay land to Indigenous stewardship one parcel at a time has received its largest property yet — 43 acres in the hills above Oakland, land trust officials said…..
The property is the largest piece of land to date to be returned to the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, said its creative director, Inés Ixierda. Since 2015, the nonprofit has collaborated with local organizations, institutions and city officials to secure East Bay land through rematriation — a process it describes as restoring “sacred relationships between Indigenous people and our ancestral land, honoring our matrilineal societies, and in opposition to patriarchal violence and dynamics.” At these sites, the land trust holds ceremonies and they harvest fruits, vegetables and native plants, such as sage and soap root”

We are excited to be translating some of our materials into Spanish with the support of our team member Sharon.
As we look at some of the language we use, we are discovering not everything always translates.
What words have you seen being used for Rematriation,
Land Back and Indigenous Land Return work in other languages?
