Thank you for naming the erasure of our Támal-ko Felix Family and our connection to this land. 🛶🌾

😍 That's our favorite viewpoint. We hope you can visit again and support our work to #RematriatetheLand through song and music. bsky.app/profile/alli...

Hello! Nice to meet you! For three years, we've protected, restored, and rematriated Felix Cove. 🌿 We've raised community awareness of Támal-ko/Coast Miwok history, fostered allyship between Indigenous and settler families, and hosted traditional ecological knowledge workshops. Nice to meet you!

We agree! @emergencemagazine.bsky.social recently released Episode 4, sharing recent progress in our efforts to bring history back to the land and foster spaces of healing and connection. Check it our here: emergencemagazine.org/audio-story/...

We hope you enjoyed listening to our story. 🌾🛶

Thank you for taking the time to hear our story.🌾🛶

This was an important series about the struggle to protect & return one small piece of land to the last Coast Miwok residents evicted from Point Reyes National Seashore in the 1950s. I look forward to the newest episode on Theresa’s work (which I am proud to have had the tiniest hand in supporting).

This week on our podcast, Episode Three of “Coming Home to the Cove” examines the role Spanish missions, boarding schools, and ranching empires played in driving many Coast Miwok people from their ancestral lands. emergencemagazine.org/podcast/

In challenging times, music and community heal us. Join the Rematriation with Music and Song workshop to harness the power of song and ceremony. Let's create healing music together. 🌟🎶 Details: www.facebook.com/events/13746...

Point Reyes, After the Cattle - Bay Nature When ranchers leave the land, what version of nature takes over? The park and The Nature Conservancy have ambitious restoration plans.

Ranching at Point Reyes is shrinking—finally. But where are Native voices in the plan? Támal-ko land care is erased while ranchers walk away w/ $30M. This could’ve been a moment of truth + healing. We’re ready to lead. We’ve been ready. 📖 Read more via Bay Nature: baynature.org/2025/05/15/p...
