Podcasts about sogorea te' land trust

This week we are taking a pause from our regularly scheduled releases to rebroadcast Corrina Gould's potent and powerful episode that originally aired in November 2020. We hope that this episode serves as a reminder of humanity and land rematriation in the face of deep colonial violence. The genocide in Palestine highlights the ways colonial forces of greed, extraction and brutal disregard for life and ties to the land are bearing their bloody teeth. We cannot return to “normal.” How can we catalyze action towards a future of reparation, responsibility, and reciprocity?In this episode of For The Wild, guest Corrina Gould reminds us that the land can sustain us in a way that would provide for our wellbeing should we choose to really re-examine what it is we need to survive. But more than a conversation on the wealth of the land, we explore responsibility and reciprocity on stolen homelands by asking what it means to be in right relationship? How can we foster integrity in conservation and land restoration work amidst a world that continues to peddle scarcity, greed, and extraction? How can folks contribute to the re-storying of the land, even if through small acts? Corrina Gould is the spokesperson for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan/Ohlone. She is an activist that has worked on preserving and protecting the ancient burial sites of her ancestors in the Bay Area for decades. She is the Co-founder and a Lead Organizer for Indian People Organizing for Change and co-founder of the Sogorea Te' Land Trust. Music by Shayna Gladstone and Amo Amo.

In July, members of the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin purchased 26 acres of land, part of what was once the tribe's territory. The fundraising effort to buy the plot, priced at $1.3 million, is just the latest successful Land Back campaign in California, a movement to return stolen land to indigenous control. The deal signaled a momentous return for a community displaced from their land over a century ago but it also evoked conflicted feelings about having to buy back land that was never willingly relinquished. We'll talk to members of California tribes about recent Land Back successes and the growing momentum around this movement. Guests: Joe Sanchez, elder, Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin Katie Keliiaa, assistant professor of History, University of California Santa Cruz Michelle Vassel, tribal administrator, Wiyot Tribe Inés Ixierda, creative director, Sogorea Te' Land Trust

Oakland's largest city park is named after Joaquin Miller, an eccentric writer who lived on the property more than a century ago. After gaining international attention as the flamboyant “Poet of the Sierra,” Miller transformed the Oakland hills by planting an estimated 75,000 trees. He called his estate “The Hights” [sic] and it became a renowned creative hub under Miller's stewardship, attracting artists and authors from as far away as Japan. Although Miller's literary fame has faded in the decades since his passing in 1913, his name is still familiar to the countless Bay Area residents who flock to Joaquin Miller Park for its stunning views and shaded trails. In 2022, Oakland made history by transferring control of Sequoia Point, a nearly five-acre parcel in Joaquin Miller Park, to Sogorea Te' Land Trust, an organization led by local indigenous women focused on returning land to Native people and revitalizing Ohlone culture. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, this deal made Oakland “the first city in California to use municipal property as reparations for European settlers stealing Native American territories.” Sogorea Te' co-founder Corrina Gould envisions this location becoming a place of ceremony, education, and a model for Native land management techniques. Sogorea Te' launched the decolonization process by changing the name of the site from Sequoia Point to Rinihmu Pulte'irekne, a Chochenyo phrase meaning “Above the Red Ochre.” Now, as Sogorea Te' prepares for the next phase, which will involve replacing non-native trees with more ecologically appropriate plants, Corinna has begun to wonder about the man who planted some of those trees—but finding answers to her questions hasn't been easy. Due to Joaquin Miller's lifelong habit of mixing fact with fiction, understanding his legacy, specifically his relationship with California's Native people, is a complicated and often bewildering undertaking. Making things even more difficult is the fact that several long out-of-print biographies about Miller contradict each other and newspaper articles about him are usually peppered with myths and inaccuracies. With a section of the park named after Miller set to become a beacon of decolonization, the relevance of his legacy has gained new significance. Was he a champion of Native rights or a traitor? A brave ally to California's Native people or a participant in their genocide? These are a few of the questions confronted in this episode of East Bay Yesterday, which features interviews with Corrina Gould, Oakland mayor Sheng Thao, author and historian Alan Rosenus, and Joaquin Miller Park writer-in-residence Kristen Caven.

What kind of repentance are we being called to in order to prepare the way for love and justice to become flesh and dwell in our midst? Inspired by a workshop at Canticle Farm in Oakland, this week Dr. Sharon Fennema invites us to make connections between decolonial land tending practices, indigenous land return and John the Baptist's call to repentance.

Today, the Ohlone community in the East Bay has no land base. They are not federally recognized and have been politically and economically marginalized. The Sogorea Te' Land Trust cultivates rematriation. Sogorea Te' calls on us all to heal and transform the legacies of colonization, genocide, and patriarchy and to do the work our ancestors and future generations are calling us to do. In this episode, we explore the Shuumi Land Tax with Araceli Nuñez Lee, program coordinator with the Sagorea Te Land Trust. Araceli is an undocumented resident on Ohlone land where she's lived for about 20 years.

Oakland is on the verge of returning 5 acres of Joaquin Miller Park to the Sogorea Te' Land Trust and the Confederated Villages of Lisjan. This would be the first time a California city has returned land to Native American tribes. Despite no significant opposition to this plan, this process has taken more than 5 years. So what does it actually take to return land back to tribes? Guest: Annelise Finney, KQED reporter Apply to be an intern with The Bay! Your support makes KQED podcasts possible.

Last episode, we focused on the accountability part of community accountability. We explored how changing our behavior to live accountably is lifelong work, is violence prevention, takes building skills until they become muscle memory. Fortunately for us, Mia gave us many opportunities to practice. In this episode, we learn from this practice – and – we focus on the community part of community accountability. Mia emphasized that transformative justice is not about intervening in or saving someone else's community – TJ is responding to harm, violence, and abuse in our OWN communities. So as we built up fundamental TJ skills, she guided us to envision the changes we'd like to see in Bay Area theater.Episode transcript: Coming soon!Sogorea Te' Land Trust: https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/Save the West Berkeley Shellmound: https://shellmound.org/Story F.4. “Surviving and Doing Sexual Harm: A Story of Accountability and Healing” from Section 4.F: Taking Accountability in the Creative Interventions Toolkit: A Practical Guide to Stop Interpersonal Violence: https://www.creative-interventions.org/toolkit/“What Is Accountability” panel recorded at Building Accountable Communities: A National Gathering on Transforming Harm on April 27, 2019 at Barnard College, NYC featuring Shannon Perez-Darby, Esteban Kelly, RJ Maccani, Mia Mingus, Sonya Shah, and Leah Todd, and moderated by Piper Anderson: https://bcrw.barnard.edu/videos/building-accountable-communities-what-is-accountability/Theater-Specific Case Study #1 - Abusive Rehearsal Room: https://f2606a71-bda8-4907-8ea6-d848e7fd6671.usrfiles.com/ugd/f2606a_5869addf765749b99d63019969bf0ceb.pdfTheater-Specific Case Study #2 - Award-Winning Director + Sexual Violence: https://f2606a71-bda8-4907-8ea6-d848e7fd6671.usrfiles.com/ugd/f2606a_310f018b45de437bb24639f478166068.pdfBATJC Case Studies: https://batjc.wordpress.com/resources/case-studies/Mia Mingus: https://www.soiltjp.org & https://leavingevidence.wordpress.comBay Area Transformative Justice Collective: https://batjc.wordpress.com/For additional resources, including this episode's ASL video: https://www.weriseproduction.com/therealworkzAnda of DiaspoRADiCAL: @diaspo.radical on Instagram & https://soundcloud.com/diasporadicalConnect with us at weriseproduction[at]protonmail[dot]com, and follow us on Facebook & Instagram at weriseproduction, & on twitter at WeRiseProducers.

For thousands of years and hundreds of generations, the Ohlone people have lived on the land that is now known as the East Bay. They were forcibly removed from their land with the arrival of Europeans beginning in the 18th Century.  To begin to address the historic harms of the city's founding, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and tribal Chairperson Corrina Gould started a conversation in 2018 that has grown into a partnership between the City of Oakland and the Sogorea Te' Land Trust. With final city council approval in November, the trust will be given the rights to a section of Joaquin Miller park known as Sequoia Point, and Oakland will become the first city in California to use municipal property as reparations for land stolen from Native American territories. On this Indigenous Peoples day, we'll talk to Corrina Gould and Mayor Schaaf about what this means for the Native community in the Bay and how it can serve as precedent for other cities.   Related articles: Rematriate the Land Fund - The Sogorea Te Land Trust Guests: Corrina Gould, Director, Sogorea Te' Land Trust; spokeswoman and Tribal Chair of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan/Ohlone; Co-Founder and Lead Organizer, Indian People Organizing for Change.

As the cohort continued, we learned that building the capacity to practice transformative justice takes immense and consistent personal work. We're talking the basics of being human, like self reflection, and how to communicate.These personal inquiries into how we live our values, and how we respond to our inevitable mistakes, were like portals into the heart of TJ. Into what it would take to support ourselves and others in living accountably every day for everything we do, and fail to do.Episode transcript: Coming soon!Sogorea Te' Land Trust: https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/Save the West Berkeley Shellmound: https://shellmound.org/Creative Interventions Toolkit: A Practical Guide to Stop Interpersonal Violence: https://www.creative-interventions.org/toolkit/Aya de Leon, “Reconciling Rage and Compassion: The Unfolding #MeToo Moment for Junot Diaz”: https://transformharm.org/reconciling-rage-and-compassion-the-unfolding-metoo-moment-for-junot-diaz/“Hollow Water,” directed by Bonnie Dickie: https://www.nfb.ca/film/hollow_water/Mia Mingus, “The Four Parts of Accountability & How To Give A Genuine Apology“: https://leavingevidence.wordpress.com/2019/12/18/how-to-give-a-good-apology-part-1-the-four-parts-of-accountability/Mia Mingus: https://www.soiltjp.org & https://leavingevidence.wordpress.comBay Area Transformative Justice Collective: https://batjc.wordpress.com/For additional resources, including this episode's ASL video: https://www.weriseproduction.com/therealworkzAnda of DiaspoRADiCAL: @diaspo.radical on Instagram & https://soundcloud.com/diasporadicalConnect with us at weriseproduction[at]protonmail[dot]com, and follow us on Facebook & Instagram at weriseproduction, & on twitter at WeRiseProducers.

Defending land rights and preserving tribal culture is difficult for North American tribes, especially for those that do not have sovereign nation-to-nation status with the federal government. The lack of recognition of a tribe's nationhood as a self-governing entity (as defined by the U.S. Constitution) has been explicitly used as a tool to continue to prevent Native peoples from living on the most desirable lands or protecting sacred lands that have been stolen.  We talk about these issues with Corrina Gould, a celebrated leader and activist of the First Peoples of the Bay Area from the Lisjan/Ohlone tribe of Northern California. She also co-founded the grassroots organization “Indian People Organizing for Change”, which works to defend and preserve sacred Ohlone shell mounds formed over generations.

California Indians have survived some of the most extreme acts of genocide committed against Native Americans. Prior to the ongoing genocide under Spanish and American colonizations, California Indians were the most linguistically diverse and population dense First Peoples in the United States. We discuss this brutal history and survivance with Corrina Gould, Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Sogorea Te' Land Trust. She is from the Lisjan/Ohlone tribe of Northern California. We talk about the importance of addressing that historical trauma, which caused deep wounds that still affect Indigenous Peoples today.   For more information and transcript, visit: https://bioneers.org/california-genocide-and-resilience-with-corrina-gould/ Corrina Gould (Lisjan/Ohlone) is the chair and spokesperson for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan, as well as the Co-Director for The Sogorea Te' Land Trust, a women-led organization within the urban setting of her ancestral territory of the Bay Area that works to return Indigenous land to Indigenous people.

This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Corinna Gould, originally aired in November of 2020. Prior to settler development and extraction, the landscapes and lifeways of Ohlone territory were richly abundant with acorns, grass seeds, wildflowers, elk, salmon, grizzly bears, and berries. In this week's episode of For The Wild, guest Corrina Gould reminds us that Ohlone territory still holds tremendous abundance and that the land can sustain us in a way that would provide for our wellbeing should we choose to really re-examine what it is we need to survive. But more than a conversation on the wealth of the land, we explore responsibility and reciprocity on stolen homelands by asking what it means to be in right relationship? How can we foster integrity in conservation and land restoration work amidst a world that continues to peddle scarcity, greed, and extraction? How can folks contribute to the re-storying of the land, even if through small acts? Corrina Gould is the spokesperson for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan/Ohlone. She is an activist that has worked on preserving and protecting the ancient burial sites of her ancestors in the Bay Area for decades. She is the Co-founder and a Lead Organizer for Indian People Organizing for Change and co-founder of the Sogorea Te' Land Trust. Music by Shayna Gladstone and Amo Amo.

Host Melissa Nelson sits down on the land for a wide-ranging conversation with Ohlone leader Corrina Gould of the Sogorea Te' Land Trust, discussing rematriating Indigenous homelands, the history and strategy of land trusts and Native land taxes, resilience hubs in the Bay Area, and much more.Corrina and Melissa talk about how to grow the network of Himmetka resilience hubs, emerging to respond to emergency and to be good hosts as Indigenous people based in urban areas such as in Lisjan, the traditional Ohlone village site in deep East Oakland, California. Corrina discusses multiple other sites that have returned to Ohlone hands, and dreams for the future of Sogorea Te' and rematriating the land.This conversation was recorded on August 2, 2021 at Heron Shadow

In this episode,  Corrina Gould, chair and spokesperson for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan, unpacks the reality of Indigenous Peoples in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Join us for a deep dive into the powerful world of ancestral remembering with rosemary. Our guests for this episode are Community Herbalist and Intuitive Healer Vanessa Radman and Community Herbalist and Wisdom Weaver Rose Rothfeder. Together we share powerful and tender stories about how this plant has helped us remember how to be human in these bodies in these times. It's a beautiful and vital discussion, just like Rosemary. Also big thanks to our guest stars short story contributors Community Herbalist and Herbal Farmer Bonnie Rose Weaver and Dear Friend and Beautiful Human Anna Frattolillo! Here are some of the land rematriation links we mentioned at the top of the show. I really encourage folks to connect with a land back and/or land rematriation effort in your area. Making a monetary gift is a powerful way to begin reweaving a good relationship with the land and the people who have tended it for time immemorial. It's a beautiful practice to do while we are also healing our relationships with our own lineages. Here are some ways to do that: The Sogorea Te' Land Trust - based in Ohlone land (colonially known as the bay area) https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/shuumi-land-tax/ The Apache Stronghold - based in Apache land (colonially known as arizona) http://apache-stronghold.com/about-us.html The Manna-hatta Fund - based in Lenni Lenape land (colonially known as new york) https://mannahattafund.org/ If you want to check out Vanessa's upcoming ancestral healing workshop (which is going to be amazing!), you can do that here: https://scarletsage.com/collections/classes/products/connecting-with-ancestral-guidance-for-personal-and-collective-healing-with-vanessa-radman-september-29th-6-8pm-pt If you want to submit a short 1 - 3 minute story for the next episode on Chamomile, you can do that here!
