Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria
Since 2007, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR) and OAEC have collaborated to explore principles of ecology, traditional ecological knowledge, and native flora and fauna in our Wildlands Preserve with the goal of becoming better practitioners of cultural regeneration and biological restoration. Over the past years, OAEC hasĀ supported FIGR in their work to develop plans for Tolay Regional Park, an 1,800-acre site that is oneĀ of the most sacred places in the Tribeās ancestral lands, and has facilitated tribal citizens in designing a new community organic garden usingĀ Resilient Community Design.Ā OAEC has also hosted FIGR’s family camp as well as organic gardening and nutrition classes here on the land.
