Three big stories out of rural far northern California this week arguably show both progress and stasis on matters of race and ethnicity.
The first "progress" story is about the return of a 500-acre redwood grove on the so-called Lost Coast to a Native American tribe, the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council. The second progress story is from the
Eureka Times-Standard, and it's
about the return to the Wiyot Tribe of human Native remains. The remains are from a massacre more than a century and a half ago, and they have been in the possession of UC Berkeley and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
