Native American tribes reclaim California redwood land for preservation | Native Americans | The Guardian

The group of 10 tribes that have inhabited the area for thousands of years will be responsible for protecting the land dubbed Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ, or “Fish Run Place” in the Sinkyone language.

Priscilla Hunter, the chair of the Sinkyone Council, said it is fitting they will be caretakers of the land where her people were removed or forced to flee before the forest was largely stripped for timber.

“It’s a real blessing,” said Hunter, of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians. “It’s like a healing for our ancestors. I know our ancestors are happy. This was given to us to protect.”

The transfer marks a step in the growing Land Back movement to return Indigenous homelands to the descendants of those who lived there for millennia before European settlers arrived. In 2020, the Esselen tribe of northern California regained more than 1,000 acres of its ancestral homeland with a $4.5m deal involving the state and an Oregon conservation group. Such arrangements have become more common in recent years, allowing for the conservation of land and wildlife.

Avian Flu Diary: FDA Removes Authorization For Two Monoclonal Antibody Therapies Due To Omicron

A few days earlier, in CDC HAN #00461: Using Therapeutics to Prevent and Treat COVID-19, we looked at a warning that two of the most frequently prescribed monoclonal antibody treatments (bamlanivimab and etesevimab and casirivimab and imdevimab) were no longer believed effective against Omicron.

While there is one remaining monoclonal antibody – sotrovimab – that is expected to be effective against Omicron, it is in very short supply, and its use must be strictly prioritized.

When these announcements were made, Delta was still producing about 25% of new infections in the United States, and so these two monoclonal antibody therapies remained available (see HAN note below).

« Para los más viejos, el oro era solo astillas brillantes en la arena de los lechos de los ríos, como la mica. Lo recolectaron para hacer una sustancia de brujería diseñada para cegar a las personas con las que estaban enojados. … Este polvo de metal era temido. Por eso llamamosoru hipëre aa los fragmentos de metal brillante que los buscadores excavan en los lechos de los ríos: la deslumbrante brujería del oro.
Cuando los blancos toman minerales del suelo, los muelen con sus máquinas y los calientan en sus fábricas … El oro y otros minerales son cosas peligrosas y malas que solo traen enfermedades y muerte. … Aunque este metal es el más hermoso y fuerte que pueden encontrar para construir sus máquinas y su mercadería, es peligroso para los humanos.
