steps:
|
|
- headline: Receive the land
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A piece of land is returned to the land trust by a current owner,
|
|
through gift, purchase, or cultural easement. The return is marked
|
|
as rematriation, not real estate.
|
|
- headline: Gather the community
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Ohlone community members and allies gather on the land. An elder
|
|
opens with prayer and acknowledges the ancestors and the land's
|
|
history.
|
|
- headline: Ceremony of return
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A ceremony marks the land's return to Indigenous stewardship. Song,
|
|
prayer, and the presence of the community affirm the return.
|
|
- headline: Name the stewardship
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The trust names how the land will be stewarded — for ceremony, for
|
|
food, for housing, for restoration — with the community's input.
|
|
- headline: Commit to ongoing care
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The community commits to ongoing care of the land, with work days and
|
|
gatherings scheduled. The return is the beginning, not the end.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Land is returned to Indigenous stewardship, marked with ceremony, and
|
|
committed to ongoing care by the community.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Rematriation is not a transfer of title — it is a return of
|
|
relationship. If you are not Ohlone, follow Ohlone lead. The ceremony
|
|
is not symbolic; it is the making of the return. |
