title: Land Stewardship Council
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A community governance practice for collective stewardship of land,
|
|
drawing on Indigenous land relationships and contemporary land trust
|
|
governance. The council deliberates on how land is cared for, who has
|
|
access, and how decisions about land are made collectively rather than
|
|
through private ownership.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Acknowledge the land
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council opens by acknowledging the land itself as a living
|
|
presence and the Indigenous peoples whose relationship to the land
|
|
- headline: Present the stewardship matter
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The matter — a land use decision, a restoration project, a question
|
|
of access — is presented with its full context.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate in the land's interest
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council deliberates not only in the interest of human members
|
|
but in the interest of the land and its non-human inhabitants.
|
|
- headline: Decide by consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Decisions are made by consensus, with attention to those absent
|
|
and to future generations who will inherit the land.
|
|
- headline: Commit to action and reciprocity
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The council commits to specific stewardship actions and to
|
|
reciprocal obligations — what the community will give back to
|
|
the land.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Land is governed as a shared responsibility rather than a commodity,
|
|
with decisions made in the interest of the land and future generations.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Indigenous communities have stewarded land through council for
|
|
millennia. If you are not Indigenous, approach this practice with
|
|
humility and follow Indigenous leadership where available. The land
|
|
is not a resource to be managed but a relationship to be maintained.
