Redistribute Wealth: Amah Mutsun Land Trust

The Amah Mutsun Land Trust is the vehicle by which the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band is returning to the lands, knowledge, and practices of their ancestors. With wise leadership, an active board of directors, devoted advisors, and inspired supporters, they are involved in a broad range of initiatives to protect and steward the land and stand ready to accept the challenges and responsibilities of tribal land tenure. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band are reaffirming their role as stewards of Mother Earth.

The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band is also currently working to pass Measure A in San Benito County which would reduce the chance of more development on AMTB ancestral land.  Their ancestral land spans Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and San Benito counties. This November, San Benito voters can change the way land use decisions are made in the county. Measure A, the “Empower Voters to Make Land Use Decisions” initiative, would make voters the decision makers on any proposed development that would change rural, agricultural, or range land to commercial, industrial, or residential uses. It would protect our local environment throughout the county and beyond.
