Our Land: Ancestral Connections 

In 2016, the Pueblo of Santa Ana paid more than $30 million to buy back some of their own ancestral lands, Tamaya Kwii Kee Nee Puu. At the time, the tribal council resolved to protect the lands for traditional uses only. In an effort that unites elders and young people, traditional knowledge and western science, the pueblo is continuing to preserve their cultural heritage, heal the lands and their waters from more than a century of grazing, study wildlife populations, and protect their future.
