Land Rush to Land Back Recording
In our virtual event, "Land Rush to Land Back," we examine allotment's history and modern-day implications for Native nations. We also highlight ongoing Indigenous resistance and the strategies Native nations are using to fight back.
Many Native nations control just a small percentage of their original land base. Rather than Tribal governments and individual Tribal citizens stewarding and carrying out their vision for the land, we instead see big ag, vacation home owners, the United States Forest Service, and others making decisions. The United States Government stole more than 90 million acres of Indigenous land during the Allotment Era.
