Land return, rematriation, and conservation work led by Indigenous peoples intersect with several of the key issues impacting the well-being and cultures of our Indigenous nations. This includes, but is not limited to, issues of environmental and climate justice, food sovereignty, health, and economic justice. As a practice, land returns are being done by land trusts without easements or restrictions, while at the same time scholars have recognized that Indigenous leadership, knowledge, and decision-making in conservation work also represent conservation best practices \u2014 resulting in the most effective ways to conserve lands productively for climate resilience and biodiversity.<\/div>\n
Chuck Loring<\/b>\u00a0is a citizen of the Penobscot Nation. In his work duties, he provides oversight to the Nation\u2019s natural resources department. Though his path has been through forestry, Chuck feels a deep connection to not only the forest, but the animals within it.<\/div>\n
