Landback Movement: Reclaiming Tribal Land
We visit the ancestral land of the Pit River Tribe in Shasta County. The tribe’s land once extended 3.5 million acres. Today, it has less than 10,000 acres. Tribal members are now fighting to reclaim the land that was taken from them centuries ago in the landback movement.
LANDBACK is a movement
that has existed for generations
with a long legacy of organizing
and sacrifice to get Indigenous Lands back into Indigenous hands.
Currently, there are LANDBACK battles being
fought all across Turtle Island,
to the north and the South.

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.
