California people have relied on cradle baskets for centuries to protect their children and also to play a role in shaping a child's character and directing his or her future. Concern for the child's future is also reflected within the cradle, as the basket becomes a vehicle for the community's most serious views concerning health and one's relationship with the world. The tribe's survival lay within the cradle basket. Funded by SF Foundation, City of Novato, Marco Vidal, Marin County Supervisors, Rocky Fund, Lyons Family Endowment, Members and Donors.

Malinalli Media Welcomes Youth Intern Naszshonnii Brown Oakland, CA.: Malinalli Media is enthusiastic to announce the first Native Women’s Media Internship program and welcome local youth Baaahh-Nazshonnii Brown-Almaweri to our staff for this summer. We also would like to thank the American Indian Child Resource Center (AICRC) for extending this partnership and making this program possible in conjunction with Living by Sacred Colors. The Malinalli Media Youth Intern is a Native American/First Nations woman who commits to serve 8 weeks as editor for the forthcoming Turtle Island to Abya Yala blog. The paid position involves crafting 1-2 feature interviews per month on any of the 60 plus contributing artists and writers in the anthology, through video production and written articles. About Mallinalli Media Malinalli Media is a Native-led media organization that supports the creation and
distribution of indigenous stories throughout Abya Yala, also known as the continent America. Founded in 2012, Malinalli Media promotes Native storytellers using the Internet and public radio through written article and video production. The first project will focus on interviews of poets and artists from the anthology Turtle Island to Abya Yala. Malinalli Media is located in the San Francisco/Bay Area and offers media internships to Native American/First Nations women.
John Echohawk, Executive Director of the Native American Rights Fund (NARF), announced the receipt of a $3 million contribution last week, the largest single donation in its over 40-year history. The donation, from the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho, was given in recognition of NARF’s work on behalf of the Tribe in its trust fund lawsuit against the United States government. The suit, filed in 2006, sought historical accountings of the Tribe’s funds and assets held in trust by the government. The Nez Perce Tribe was one of over 100 tribes to file such claims, more than 40 of which were represented by NARF. The Department of the Interior, represented by the Department of Justice and under the direction and leadership of President Barack Obama, late last year chose to settle the lawsuits rather than take them to trial. In April this year the Administration announced settlements totaling more than $1 billion for over
40 tribes. Several more settlements have been reached since.

Please send a letter to Senators Feinstein and Boxer, with the following message: Collectively, nothing is more sacred to Native people than our ancestral homelands, and nothing has been more harmful to our cultures and communities than the historic and unjust appropriation of that land. I urge you to support the Southeast Alaska Native Land Entitlement Finalization and Jobs Protection Act (S. 730) when it comes before you for a vote. This legislation would return ancestral lands promised over 40 years ago under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971. Fulfilling Sealaska’s land entitlement will support communities in Southeast Alaska by preserving existing jobs and creating new ones. Sealaska currently has the right and ability to receive ownership of lands in the Tongass. This legislation would not grant Sealaska one additional acre in the Tongass that it was not promised by
Congress in 1971, it merely allows for Sealaska to select from less environmentally sensitive areas than currently available. Further, it will protect lands with significant spiritual, cultural and sacred values to Southeast Alaska's Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples. The economic sustainability provided by this bill contributes to the ability to meet their greater purpose—to strengthen Native culture and communities on homeland throughout Southeast Alaska. This legislation and the final land entitlements are vital aspects to this mission.
