Siskiyou Field Institute (SFI) sits on the ancestr

Siskiyou Field Institute (SFI) sits on the ancestral homelands of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands from time immemorial. Their descendants are part of modern tribes like the Takelma Band of the Rogue River Indians, Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Indians, and Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation.

SFI recognizes that the native communities in this region were forcibly removed from their lands. Indigenous people did and currently do experience unjust treatment from the United States government and yet still live here in this region, supporting and holding knowledge of stewardship on this land. Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge is a tool that has been shared with us here at SFI and we believe that it is through this lens and through harmonious, symbiotic relationships that the Earth can be healed. We celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ day here at SFI and we also celebrate the knowledge and patience that Indigenous peoples share with us. We believe that Land Acknowledgements need to be backed up by action and that is why we actively work with Indigenous groups to engage with TEK, are prioritizing improved access to SFI lands through trail building, and are expanding our habitat restoration efforts to bring indigenous plants and animals back to the landscape along with people. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

A huge thank you to @ashlandfoodcoop for awarding Siskiyou Field Institute one of the AFC community grants!

These funds will go towards the Siskiyou Community Lands Project which aims to support the development of a Pasture Management Plan that allows SFI to use our pastures for livestock grazing while complying with the terms of our Conservation Easement.
