A conservation group is turning over a historic redwood grove on the California coast to descendants of the original Native American inhabitants.
This Native American Heritage Month, ABC Localish Studios presents "Our America: Indigenous and Urban."
The league recently paid $37 million for a scenic 5-mile stretch of the rugged and forbidding Lost Coast from a lumber company to protect it from logging and eventually open it up to the public. "This is a property where you can almost tangibly feel that it is healing, that it is recovering," Hodder said."You walk through the forest and, even as you see the kind of ghostly stumps of ancient trees that were harvested, you could also in the foggy landscape see the monsters that were left behind as well as the young redwoods that are sprouting from those stumps."
In an effort to reduce its liability and the chance of vegetation contacting power lines and sparking fires, PG&E has been criticized for destroying many large and old trees.
