@savetheredwoods   "It's a gift — a real blessing to our tribes. Our relatives and our ancestors are happy and can be at peace, because this is where our ancestors were forced off their land and had to run away from either being killed or taken away. I believe that their spirits and our spirits are connected together today in a happy time." —Priscilla Hunter, chairwoman of the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, on acquiring and protecting the redwood forestland called Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ in partnership with Save the Redwoods League (quote featured in @kqed).
