This week's episode looks at the exciting moment that we have in conservation, where we have the marrying together of tribal justice and environmental conservation through return land to the tribes.

Molli Myers of the Klamath Indigenous Land Trust and Alex Leumer of Leumer Consulting join the program to discuss restorative justice and conservation, and efforts in Sacramento to promote Indigenous management opportunities.
