Clarification from Maija: At around 43 minutes- I say “at best” is a comanagement agreement, but of course, full land return is a goal for many Nations. What I was meaning, but didn’t say, is that this option can be “best,” if the title to land will not transfer (land return) to a Tribe/Nation, then a co-management agreement can be a strong tool. Especially in California, because some Nations we work with have shared that they would prefer sharing the responsibility with a trusted third-party partner, like a land trust, as long as the written agreement is culturally appropriate and has a strong set of protocols for addressing issues or challenges through peacemaking.

Episode 34 - The Goddess of the Dawn and Reckonings with Time(s)
In this special easter episode, we look at the curious intersections of a Goddess of the Dawn, the turning point of the Christian calendar and cosmovision, and the way in which time itself was reconceptualized in early medieval Europe, with reverberations and implications for today.
This is an audio essay, not a conversation, and it picks up on threads from some of our earlier work around circular time, the transition into Christianity in Europe, ecclesiastical history, and our ongoing inquiry into the eco-spiritualities necessary to both interpret, respond to, and find faithfulness in the midst of a changing climate.
