Restoring the Land | Land Back, Dam Removal & Fire Stewardship w/ Steve Wise | Drum Circle News
Welcome to the Circle.
In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Steve Wise, Executive Director of the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy, to explore the growing relationship between Indigenous land ethics and the modern land trust movement. We dive into the truth about dam removal, the hidden history of cultural fire, and the spiritual significance of land stewardship from both a scientific and Indigenous lens.
Steve shares powerful stories of navigating angry neighbors, reconnecting native plants to their homes, and confronting the colonial legacy embedded in conservation easements. Together, we explore how land trusts can support tribal sovereignty, cultural revitalization, and meaningful Land Back projects.
This is not just a podcast — it’s a call to reimagine the future of ecological restoration, cultural renewal, and the healing of ancestral lands.
