Sounds like they are transferring private land to Indian Tribes. Will they Now restrict access? Are they a recognized tribal group? Will this open it up to the public?? My guess is that they will restrict access to everyone else.

Snip..."The transfer marks a step in the growing Land Back movement to return Indigenous homelands to the descendants of those who lived there for millennia before European settlers arrived.

The league first worked with the Sinkyone council when it transferred a 164-acre (66-hectare) plot nearby to the group in 2012.

The league recently paid $37 million for a scenic 5-mile (8-kilometer) 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."
