"If the U.S. won’t properly care for its public lands, why not return them to their original caretakers?" asks Joe Whittle.
This is a salient argument for returning land stolen from indigenous people, written by a Caddo/Delaware writer who has spent over a decade as a ranger for the U.S. Forest Service. Our current situation with public lands at risk is yet another example where "we the people" have shown that we cannot be responsible for something so precious, and so the status quo cannot continue. The Landback movement--returning land to indigenous ownership--is one viable solution that has multiple potential benefits.
It's not just the land that has been grossly mishandled, but the rights and lives of indigenous people, too. The article states "It’s been argued that the United States violated every Indian treaty it signed. When a treaty is broken, much like when a home is repossessed, the property exchanged should be returned to its original owner for breach of contract." Landback is one way in which indigenous people are trying to get back at least a little of what has been violently stolen from them over the past few centuries.
Does it mean giving up control? Of course. But with current trends, we don't exactly have a lot of control when state or federal governments decide to allow clearcutting or strip mining on public lands. Will some places be closed off to the public if they end up back in indigenous hands? Perhaps, but at least they wouldn't be forcing the rest of us onto reservations, from which we were not allowed to stray. That's a more merciful treatment than they received.
Even if the general public were no longer allowed on a given piece of land, we would still benefit from its restoration and sustainable stewardship, through cleaner air and water, better biodiversity, and ecosystems allowed to return to more complex states over time. Moreover, indigenous communities would stand to benefit financially from the substantial tourism and other recreational activities on current public lands. Responsible management could balance access to popular sites with minimizing wear and tear, while ecologically fragile or culturally sensitive places could be off-limits.
Why not let something old become something new again, and see if we all fare better for it?
Four of Pike's cousins, all close in age to her, recounted a girl they knew as a funny, kind and happy person who loved animals, K-pop and Roblox. Jadyn Palmer, 15, said she and Tyraya Steele, another 15 year-old cousin, grew up with Pike on the San Carlos Apache reservation. The three were always by each other's side and laughing, Palmer said. She said Pike would call her every so often and the last time they spoke was just weeks before she disappeared. In their last conversation, Pike shared she was going to return to the reservation within a month. Palmer and Steele became excited about the shopping trips they wanted to plan. "We're not going to have a trio anymore," Palmer told The Associated Press, her voice choking up with Steele by her side.

The Arizona Department of Child Safety requires notification of a child's missing status to occur within a day of receiving the information. However, that requirement doesn't extend to tribal social services, according to Anika Robinson, president of the nonprofit foster care advocacy group ASA Now. Pike was in the custody of San Carlos Apache Tribe Social Services, which could not be reached for comment, at the time she went missing from the group home in Mesa. [...] Pike's mother, Steff Dosela, has said in interviews that she didn't hear about her daughter's disappearance until a week later. Robinson questioned why it took so long. "Imagine what probably had already transpired by that week," she said.
A tall vessel with an oval, almost bag-like body, a somewhat elongated neck with an everted rim and a pair of narrow curving handles that spring from the oblique shoulder to the neck.
The lower portion of the vessel splits into two legs with well-modeled feet. Details such as ankle bones and the arch of each foot are rendered by modeled forms rather than incised lines.
The overall effect is that of a wine- or waterskin rather than a ceramic vessel. It is likely that this association was intentional- as the light porous ceramic body of the vessel allows water to evaporate slowly through the sides, thus slightly cooling the remaining contents.
