Giving Land Back to Indigenous People

In this episode of the According to Weeze Podcast, Sogorea Te’s Nazshonnii Brown talk about how we can take accountability and give land back to Indigenous folks. It’s more than just googling a tribe and sharing the Federally recognized information. This process involves researching our lineage to understand how communities were colonized and tribes were lost, looking deeper into the land we occupy to see who those tribes are and what they need present day, it calls for us to speak up against problematic behavior, and more. …

Art and Production by Inés G. The Seeding Hope Speaker Series features some of the organizers, cultural workers, farmers, activists, matriarchs, scholars, youth, and elders whose work gives us inspiration.
For our first event, we were honored to host, Dr. Kalamaoka’aina Niheu, MD, a Kanaka Maoli/ Native Hawaiin physician, co-founder of the Standing Rock Medic Healer’s Council, and Manua Kea Medics and Dr. Rupa Mayra, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at UCSF and co-founder of the Do No Harm Coalition in conversation about their front-line, Covid-19 pandemic work with Bay Area and Indigenous communities. In addition, these experts will talk about the importance of environmental, climate and land justice and honoring Indigenous cultural practices for creating health and wellness and they offer directions that can help us to reimagine health and wellness through practices of Indigenous self–determination for our families and communities.
