This is great news. I believe indigenous people are overlooked for reparations.
thank god, Cause white people especially Californians has done a bang up job of maintaining it.
Wonderful news! Nature will be better off in their hands. This makes my day, week, month.
Like Winston Churchill said, "The U.S. always does the right thing….eventually"
Because of their height, redwoods draw moisture directly from the Sea Air. This helps retain moisture for the area rather than have it all blow over California and into the interior of the country, which causes draught and forest fires.
It is about time. The Native Americans were, uh, Native Americans. They lived here first. Wonder if some of us 🇺🇸 problems are karma from the way we treated them. They saved the pilgrims, but then Manifest Domain was about taking what we wanted.
Yay
This comment is regarding the comment about clear cutting of the forests, it is better to do selective cutting, this way it will open up the forest canopy and allow sunlight to the forest floor to allow new growth.
They'll log it out sell the lumber for millions

YES! Victory for Indigenous people! I hope more counties and states do this.

Hopefully the natives chop down the trees for casinos. Am I right?
Wow how long did it take for us to give something back that didn't belong to us
Sad that it's a small pc of the continent that was once all theirs.
very good.
I'M CHEROKEE. HOW ABOUT "RETURN THE USA TO US"? 2CENT
May these Redwoods be treasured!
Simply a great story, thanks.
Good. Long overdue.
10 years from now it will be mowed down and have 10 casinos 🎰
We can never give back what we've taken from the natives in this country.
It would be ironic if they chopped the trees down to build another Indian casino 🤣
YES! Victory for Indigenous people! I hope more counties and states do this.
I want land returned to my ppl taken after Pangaea happened
