In #Eureka, #California, the #Wiyot Tribe has seen historic #Indigenous land return victories. Now via a unique legal model, it’s creating housing for former foster youth on its ancestral land. Check out Emily Nonko’s story to learn about what’s happening.

I guess the invasive "Himalaya" blackberry often has 3,5, or 7 leaves in each cluster, whereas the one that's native to California has 3 leaves per cluster.
So the saying we were taught about poison oak- "leaves of 3, let it be"- actually applies but for a different reason. With poison oak it means don't touch. With the native blackberry, the point is don't hurt it.
It's not endangered, but I say let's hope the native plants can prosper! #NativePlants on #Wiyot land
