California redwoods land returned to tribe
The Yurok Tribe has regained 125 acres of ancestral land in Humboldt County, which is now open as O Rew Redwoods Gateway, a public site offering interpretive exhibits and trails to old-growth redwoods. The land, previously used for a lumber mill that altered its natural waterways and habitats, was restored over several years with support from nonprofit organizations and government agencies. This effort is part of a broader initiative where the tribe has reclaimed approximately 12% of its historic territory, aiming to preserve cultural heritage and restore ecosystems linked to their ancestral homeland.
