This work is a down payment on the state's commitment to do better by the Native American communities who have called this land home since time immemorial. By listening to and working with tribes across the state, including to return ancestral homelands and restore the environment, we are healing deep wounds and rebuilding trust between our people.
We are proud to support the return of Shasta Indian Nation's homelands on the fifth anniversary of Governor Newsom's historic apology to all California Native people for the state's early destruction of Native homelands, people and lifeways.
Five years ago, Newsom officially apologized to California Native American peoples on behalf of the state and announced the creation of the California Truth and Healing Council which has developed a number of programs and initiatives since its creation.
