California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project

The purpose of all CHIRP activities is to preserve, protect, and perpetuate Nisenan culture. This project supports the purchase of essential forestry equipment for CHIRP's recently formed Tribally-led Land Stewardship Crew, which is designed to return beneficial fire to our Tribal landscapes.

This project preserves, protects, and perpetuates Nisenan culture through the formation of a tribally- led land stewardship crew that will return beneficial fire to tribal lands. This project supports the capacity of the land stewardship crew.

This grant funding will support our HOMELAND RETURN project where we are acquiring 232 acres of our Ancestral Homeland.
