#Biden-#Harris Administration, #NOAA designate 3rd-largest national marine sanctuary
https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/biden-harris-administration-noaa-designate-3rd-largest-national-marine-sanctuary
"#Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary (including #KelpForests, rocky #reefs, sandy beaches, underwater mountains and more than 200 #shipwrecks) to be managed with #tribal, #Indigenous community involvement... With this designation, the administration has now conserved more than 45 million acres of lands and waters."
Lucy Sherriff: US approves first-ever tribal marine sanctuary: ‘Our community’s hard work has come to fruition’
"After years of campaigning by Indigenous Americans in central #California, the US has finally approved the country’s first Indigenous-nominated national marine sanctuary, a 4,543 sq mile expanse of ocean that will protect marine life from mining and oil drilling.
The #Chumash Heritage national marine sanctuary – which will be nearly four times the size of Yosemite national park – will stretch along 116 miles of the California coastline that supports a number of at-risk species, including southern sea otters, abalone and blue whales. The area is also home to critical kelp forests, which not only provide food and shelter for marine life, but also act as a carbon storage system – they can sequester up to 20 times as much carbon as terrestrial forests."

"More than 4,500 sq miles of #ocean will soon be protected by the federal government off the Central #California coast... the new #Chumash Heritage National #MarineSanctuary will be managed in partnership with #tribes, #Indigenous groups in the area... It marks a growing movement under the #Biden-#Harris admin to give tribes a say over the lands and waters that were taken from them"

"#NOAA approves plan for 4500 square mile #Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary... The sanctuary would help protect everything from #kelp forests to sandy beaches. It also would provide new protections for Chumash cultural heritage in the region... The #NorthernChumash Tribal Council has been championing creation of the sanctuary, first proposing it in 2015."
After 9 Years of Work, CA Tribe Finally (Sees) Traditional Land Named a Marine Reserve Bigger Than Yosemite | Good News Network
A California tribe has become the first indigenous group in the Lower 48 to be named co-stewards over a National Marine Sanctuary.
Extending out into the waters between the technology capital of the world and the Hollywood Hills, the Chumash Tribe have been campaigning for decades to achieve it.
For many years, the Santa Monica Mountains sustained the #Chumash and #Tongva / #Gabrielino cultures.
Sycamore Canyon, which cuts through }#Rancho #Sierra #Vista/Satwiwa and #Point #Mugu State Park, was part of a Chumash trade route.
#Satwiwa, which means "the bluffs," was the name of a nearby Chumash village.
To reflect this heritage, Satwiwa Native American Indian #Culture #Center and #Natural #Area was established by the National Park Service in partnership with the Friends of Satwiwa.
A Native American guest host or a park ranger is on hand to answer questions from 9am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
Native American workshops, programs and art shows occur throughout the year.
Call for information on accessibility parking.

Indigenous Group "Condemns" Viral Chiefs Fan For Headdress And Face Paint
https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/740210-viral-chiefs-fan-indigenous-community-response
> The #SantaYnez Band of #Chumash Indians has condemned the decision of a young member of their community to wear a headdress and face paint to a #Chiefs game.
#SouternCalifornia landscape and region cannot be understood without listening to the stories of #Indigenous people who managed the land and thrived for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers.
In this project, our team blended geographers, historians, and biologists with representatives of three tribes — #Chumash, #Tataviam, and #Gabrieleño — to undertake a collective investigation of six village sites and their natural features as they would have existed before European arrival.
The resulting effort, funded by the John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation since 2020, blends different approaches to understanding and describing the landscape to produce a set of parallel products that describe the six village sites in detail and provide detailed maps of the natural environment, its flora and fauna, and tools to understand its influence into the modern era for the region.
This project is unique because a commonly shared, detailed map of the historical ecology—the flora, fauna, hydrology, and landforms, that evolved within Southern California’s Mediterranean climate over millennia and supported human populations for 9,000 years, has not previously been developed.
Individually and cumulatively, the results of this research are vital resources to all regional and local planning efforts involving sustainability, habitat restoration, and preparing for climate change.
This project is also unique also because four of its co-Principal Investigators are members of the Indigenous peoples of the Los Angeles Basin (Gabrieleño, Tataviam, and Chumash).

Interesting article on a "cultural burn" in Santa Barbara, the first in generations. #wildfires #PrescribeFire #Chumash https://www.edhat.com/news/chumash-cultural-burn-reignites-ancient-practice-for-wilderness-conservation/
Proposed National #Marine Sanctuary open for comments until Oct. 25th.
The Northern #Chumash #Tribal Council submitted the sanctuary nomination in 2015. #NOAA's proposed designation would protect marine ecosystems and highlight the cultural values and connections of #Indigenous communities.
