Community-led stewardship demonstration projects
To “Put adaptation into action”, CNNCTS has invested in large-scale demonstration projects established to support co-stewardship and intertribal collaboration. As part of these efforts, CNNCTS has supported community partners to serve as advisors and provided seed funds for pilot projects.
As part of their demonstration project, CNNCTS partners from the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians identified a goal to raise awareness and educate community members from their own Tribe as well as surrounding communities, Tribes, and regional organizations about the benefits of cultural burning. In May of this year, they hosted a cultural burn at the Tribe's Campground, and continue to guide research to monitor restoration progress through the Indigenous ways of knowing, observing, collaborating, and working towards for the benefit of the community.
