First Light is partnering with conservation attorney Rob Levin to offer an advanced legal training for non-native landholding organizations that are committed to Wabanaki sovereignty and land/access/resource return. This two-hour virtual workshop is designed to help committed organizations understand and navigate legal conditions around: offering land for return; making financial contributions to Wabanaki-led land care efforts; advocating for Wabanaki-led policies; rethinking conservation easements. This training is best-suited for staff at organizations who are involved in the legal or technical aspects of land tenure, grantmaking, and policy work.

Note that this is not an introductory workshop: little time will be spent on the “why” of land/resource return or working in solidarity with Wabanaki communities, so that deeper legal particularities of earnestly pursuing the work of return can be addressed.
