Clockshop presents a new series Dreaming Land Back into Reality, an exploration of the intersectional movements that work to pave pathways to the return and stewardship models of stolen land. Community-led campaigns working with governmental partners have lent a renewed momentum to the return of land to Indigenous, Black, and other communities of color in California. In this series, we will discuss collaborative approaches that promote interconnection, advocacy, mutualism, and land stewardship to foster the climate resilient future we need. We turn our attention to the nature of collaboration within these efforts and its processes, languages, and imaginations that has brought about change.

Seats are Limited

Ahead of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the first conversation in the series features Victor Bjelajac, District Superintendent in the North Coast Redwood District for California State Parks; Kimberly Morales Johnson, Tribal Secretary of the Gabrieleno / Tongva Tribe; and Rudy Ortega Jr., Tribal President of the Tataviam / Fernandeño Tribe. The program will be moderated by Alina Bokde, Chief Deputy Director of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation. The program speakers will share their experiences in navigating the co-stewardship of stolen land with Indigenous tribes and communities within and beyond colonial systems.
