Sovereignty is the right of Native people to make laws and policies the way they see fit on their ancestral territory.
For Margo Robbins, that means managing the land in a way that allows California’s Klamath peoples to continue traditional practices like basket weaving, hunting, fishing, and gathering medicine plants.
Explore how sovereignty is fundamental to the success of Indigenous-led conservation in Guardians of Life. Learn more and purchase your copy at the link in bio.
