Voluntary Tribal Engagement Strategies for Save the Redwoods League
Abstract
A century-old nonprofit land trust in California, Save the Redwoods League has long
worked to protect and steward ecologically significant lands that are also tribal
ancestral territories embedded with cultural and spiritual significance. To achieve
their ambitious vision for the next century of redwoods conservation, the League has
engaged with tribes on individual conservation projects while recognizing the need
for a more holistic understanding of tribal engagement. Based on formal policy and
guidelines, state and federal agencies hold a legal responsibility to consult with
tribes as sovereign nations. Without statutory guidance or authority, few resources
are available to non-agency land trusts and conservation groups to guide their tribal
engagement strategies. This report identifies applicable frameworks for tribal engagement,
offers perspectives on tribal engagement from various stakeholder groups, and provides
recommendations for the League to consider in their development of a framework or
best practices for tribal engagement.
