This Friday, the governor Gavin Newsom<\/a> announced a $100 million budget proposal to strengthen partnerships with California's Native American tribes and achieve the state's ambitious climate and conservation goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed funding would support tribal initiatives that advance shared climate and biodiversity goals, including traditional knowledge research, development, and implementation; workforce training, capacity building, and technical support; and tribal nature-based climate conservation programs, among others.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToo often, California\u2019s Native American communities are ignored and suffer many of the worst impacts of climate change. The California way is not to hide from our past, but to embrace it with a commitment to building on our values of inclusion and equity for all who call this state home,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, the Governor called for the accelerated use of nature-based solutions to combat the climate crisis through Executive Order N-82-20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order called for a cohesive strategy to improve management of the state\u2019s diverse landscapes to protect climate-vulnerable communities, safeguard biodiversity, achieve carbon neutrality, improve public health and safety, and expand economic opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two major initiatives were also launched as part of this strategy: a major new conservation target and a first-ever strategy to expand climate-smart land management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state has thus committed to conserving 30 percent of state lands and coastal waters by 2030, becoming a leader in an international effort called \u201c30X30.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During public workshops for these initiatives, it was clear that California\u2019s Native American tribes offered meaningful solutions and a willingness to partner with the state. In light of this, state agencies are finalizing a Climate Smart Natural and Working Lands Strategy that will identify the state\u2019s priorities for managing our landscapes to meet California\u2019s ambitious climate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe heard loud and clear in our consultations with more than 70 Native American tribes in California about the need to play a leadership role in restoration and conservation efforts that benefit tribal communities and honor their connections to lands and waters,\u201d said California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTribes also identified a need for capacity-building resources to engage more centrally in California\u2019s climate and conservation efforts. This funding proposal can make that collaboration possible,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Governor\u2019s budget proposal, the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) would administer the new tribal funding commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom acknowledged that California\u2019s Native peoples have lived interdependently and stewarded this environment since time immemorial, and that the state has a role in the violent disruption of that relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we have heard in recent days, removing California\u2019s Native people and practices from the places where they have lived and thrived since time immemorial has had far-reaching negative impacts, including many of the climate challenges we are currently experiencing,\u201d said Tribal Councilor to the Governor Christina Snider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis proposal, which anticipates an informed and tribal-led process, is a step in the right direction to begin to honor what California\u2019s Native peoples have been through and respectfully honor tribal communities as the first people of this place,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
