TMSN Visits Traditional Amah Mutsun Territory for Collaboration and Learning

On March 16, the Leadership Council of the TMSN had the opportunity to visit important sites within the traditional Amah Mutsun territory as part of our ongoing effort to collaborate and learn about each other’s projects.

This Network allows us to learn and conduct research with other Tribes to restore Indigenous traditional knowledge and to protect our coast and ocean in the ways of our ancestors.

Valentin Lopez, Chairman, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band

This network has come out of many years of research, work and passion and to see it come to fruition has been one of the proudest moments of my life.

Rosa Laucci, Marine Biologist, Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation

The network provides opportunities to share knowledge and build Tribal capacity to monitor and manage ocean resources. Seeing how other Tribes within the network have built their programs has been a truly rewarding experience and is allowing us to expand our own program.

Abreanna Gomes, Environmental Specialist, Kashia Band of Pomo Indians

The TMSN provides opportunities for our Tribal citizens to learn new skills, stay connected to our community and culture, and use traditional knowledge to heal the environment and our people.

Fawn Murphy, Chairperson, Resighini Rancheria

The Network is an exciting program that helps us to monitor and protect our cultural and natural resources. By implementing old and new knowledge to our monitoring process, we’ve taken multiple steps to preserve our resources for future generations.

Tylor Jones, Tribal Steward and Citizen, Resighini Rancheria

The opportunities these programs and this network offer are invaluable for the tribal youth that want to explore this field and be able to successfully steward their ancestral territories.

Rosa Laucci, Marine Biologist, Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation

Due to the brutal history of California tribes and colonization, much of our traditional knowledge was nearly erased. Today, it is important to restore that knowledge so we can return to the path of traditional stewardship to honor our ancestors and fulfill our obligation to Creator.
