I have read that the Ohlone of San Francisco (Yerba Buena) used to have a saying "Dancing on the brink of the world".

I used to live down the road from Kashia reservation when i was a kid, in a little white house right next to highway 1. Every so often we got to go down to the beach there because my mom worked at Stewarts Point store and it was a beautiful strip of coast. I hope this opens it up to more people.

A wonderful book to read about the paradise California tribes tended when the Europeans so rudely interrupted (!) is "Tending the Wild". I'm sorry I forgot the name of the author. It was about the native practices such as burns, seed harvesting, so many wise methods that led to preserving the land so beautifully and sustainably that when the European explorers showed up they gushed about what a paradise it was (and still is in many areas). Then the Anglo settlers spend the rest of their reign over nature despoiling the land and ignoring the lessons of preservation the tribes knew and could teach. Whites are finally learning especially about wildfires - California is a fire-dependent ecological system that has to be managed wisely.

Thank you for such a beautiful video. Much more work needed with the same approach for all of of CA Indigenous people and all tribes across this continent. Native sovereignty and to again pray, gather, and live on their ancestral lands is key to the preservation of distinct cultural traditions. TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) is our salvation as a species. I am ready to be a conduit, to help build a future , and to let the salmon run that no dam can hold. Mahalo and peaceful journeys. Ku k’ai Mauna!

[@lilithrogers5204]

Yes, thank you. It is so important that these lands and people are reconnected and that the tribal knowledge is passed down through the generations. And passed on to those of us who are not native to this area but love living here and work to preserve it as well. A Ho!!

Nice, this is amazing! But it is not clear what the possession of land gives them? They must to take care of it, build ecological trails, provide other people with the opportunity to walk along these trails, organize a recreation area for other people? Can the Kashia tribe collect food on this land, hold their own festive events? Don't they have the ability to do all of this anywhere else in nature, anywhere else on the coast? Can they live on this piece of land? Can they build a house on it and live as their ancestors lived, and can they have the opportunity to be close to civilization, not far from the main highway, and at the same time be all together their community?

Thank you for sharing this, glad you purchased that land, it should be protected. I know that piece it is spectacular.

In the past the traditional way of harvesting "sea lettuce" algae for food was to cut the fronds and leave the base of stem so the algae can grow back.
