Dreaming Land Back Into Reality

Clockshop

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. Ahead of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the first conversation in the series featured 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 was moderated by Alina Bokde, Chief Deputy Director of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation. The program speakers shared their experiences in navigating the co-stewardship of stolen land with Indigenous tribes and communities within and beyond colonial systems.
