After more than 120 years, the Yurok Tribe in California has reclaimed ancestral lands taken from them in the late 1800s.
In 2025, the tribe secured the return of over 50,000 acres along the Klamath River, marking a historic moment for both the Yurok people and Native communities across the U.S.
These lands, central to their culture, spirituality, and daily life, hold deep significance. The Klamath River, essential for fishing and traditions, has long suffered from ecological damage, but with the land’s return, the tribe now has hope to restore both nature and heritage.
This achievement reinforces their sovereignty and serves as an inspiring example for other tribes seeking justice and land reclamation. It represents healing from past wrongs and provides resources for future generations.

On the Winter Solstice, we arrive at the longest night of the year—a pause written into the Earth’s cycles. As the year winds down, nature invites us to rest, reflect, and gather strength for what lies ahead. Today marks a threshold, where darkness holds us before the light begins its return. This is a time of quiet preparation. Growth begins here, beneath the surface.

The storms are ongoing. As advocates for the Earth and human rights, we are still braving them—showing up and navigating unending urgency. Yet even resistance must be rooted in care. We are learning to practice something just as necessary: how to do this work without abandoning our bodies, our breath, or our well-being. Rest is not separate from resistance; it is how we sustain it.

The solstice reminds us that we do not have to force the light. It returns on its own time. Today, we honor the wisdom of slowing down and take a moment to find calm in the eye of the storm—turning our pace as soft as possible, as slow as possible when we can.

Small Acts of Care for Today:
- Place a hand on your belly and chest. Inhale. Exhale.
- Tell yourself something you need to hear.
- Write down what you’re releasing and what you’re hoping to nourish.
- Set down the work, even briefly, and let your body rest without guilt.

May this solstice hold you through the dark, as the light begins its return.
