California is moving forward with a first-in-the-nation program to help native tribes reclaim control of ancestral land.

The state is giving 100 million dollars to tribes to reacquire land, restore it and take over its stewardship.

Governor Newsom calls this a “truth and healing process” to make amends for historical wrongs committed against Native Californian tribes, much like the Truth and Reconciliation process that was pioneered in South Africa. Various tribes will receive grants from the state under this program.
