On today’s show, we’re heading south to California to learn about the groundbreaking Tribal Marine Stewards Network.
The Tribal Marine Stewards Network, or TMSN, is an alliance of Tribal Nations working collaboratively to reclaim their right to protect and restore coastal and marine ecosystems in California.
Even in the modern era, government agencies have historically been either resistant, or outright hostile to, Tribal co-management and sovereignty, (google northwest fishing wars for just one modern example) and so I was really excited to see the State of California changing course and supporting a co-management strategy.
Of course, that is not the way it started. Tribes had to work for years to bring State agencies around to a collaborative approach, and I think there is a lot to learn from their success.
So I’m joined today by Chairman Valentin Lopez of the Aham Mutsun Tribal Band, which is one of the founding tribes of the TMSN.
There is way more to the Tribal Marine Stewards Network, and the history of colonizers and indigenous peoples in California in general, than we were able to get into in this conversation. So I highly recommend that you check out our show notes for links and resources.
And since all non tribal land in this country is stolen land, if you want to learn more about the history of whose land you’re on, a good place to start is https://native-land.ca/.
