Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 320810" data-attributes="member: 605">Hey Rowdie, just for you I'll post another blurb,Support Tribally Led Conservation and Restoration Priorities. Tribal governments haveoften struggled to access Federal funding and assistance to support their conservation efforts,either because they are not written into legislation that authorizes key Federal programs, orbecause they may not have capacity to navigate the bureaucracy to participate in the programsfor which they are eligible. Federal agencies should review their most successful conservationprograms, such as the LWCF and the National Marine Sanctuaries nominations process, todetermine how to better include and support Tribal governments. This may include workingwith Congress to revise underlying statutes, or developing technical assistance and capacity building grants to support Indigenous-led conservation efforts.Additionally, Federal agencies should take steps to improve engagement with AmericanIndians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians on the care and management of public lands andwaters, particularly regarding sacred and ceremonial sites, and trust and treaty rights. TheBiden-Harris administration has committed to engaging in regular, meaningful, and robustconsultation with Tribal Nations; this must include land management planning and relevantdecision-making for public lands and waters.30  Finally, the Federal Government should prioritize restoring Tribal homelands by improving theland into trust process. Tribes have time and time again proven to be the most effectivestewards of natural resources.Rowdie, Minnesota has a State program called Lessard-Sams. A sales tax provides millions. A Tribe is petitioning right now to use some of that white man money to purchase private land and put it into a land trust for them. The land won't be given to them directly or added to the reservation per se. But they will dictate land use and hunting. The people in Minnesota are currently blocking it because they know that never ends well.</blockquote>
