Mvs-yee-se'-ne Xa'-tr'vslh-nvt
January 31, 2023, Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation (Nation) and U.S. Forest Service came together to implement a prescribed burn near Gasquet, CA, at Mvs-yee-se’ -ne (Pappas Flat).
Mvs-yee-se’ -ne is a culturally significant landscape, including a traditional village and harvesting/hunting grounds, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The landscape is managed collaboratively between the Six Rivers National Forest (SRNF), Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and Elk Valley Rancheria, with the goal to preserve the area’s historical cultural features, while implementing Indigenous led stewardship of cultural resources within the landscape.
Fire adapted species such as Oregon white oak, hazel, huckleberry and a variety of other culturally significant plant and wildlife species need regular intervals of low-intensity fire to restrict seedling establishment of competing species (especially invasive and noxious weeds), improve growing conditions, and control insect infestations. Keeping the understory clear enables large oaks to thrive and maintains open space for wildlife. It also increases the quality and quantity of basketry materials, foods, medicines and other utilitarian species. Low intensity burns reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and mitigate the impact of catastrophic incidents.
The Nation in partnership with SRNF and has secured funding through the local Resource Advisory Committee and BIA to continue implementation of stewardship activities in this landscape. Next steps include: road maintenance, protective barriers, planting of native grasses, monitoring of activities, maintenance of invasive species (Himalaya, Scotch broom and French Broom) and regular application of fire. It’s critical to us that we continue to preserve and perpetuate Tolowa Dee-ni' lifeways for community members and our future generations.

NATIVE TOBACCO PROJECT
Tobacco Restrictions
Jamie Biesanz, UIHS Health Promotion, and Education Technician, NATIVE Tobacco Project
What is the big deal with flavored tobacco?
According to theAmerican LungAssociation, about four out of five people who start using commercial tobacco products before age eighteen begin with flavored products. This is especially concerning forAmerican Indians andAlaska Natives since we have the highest rates of commercial tobacco use, including among youth. By reducing the availability of flavored tobacco, we can reduce the appeal of commercial tobacco to our youth.
What is Prop 31?
Californians voted “Yes” on Proposition 31 in November 2022, which will make it illegal for in-person stores and vending machines to sell most flavored tobacco products, with a $250 penalty for each violation. The penalty applies to the retailer, not to the customer, and references commercial tobacco, not traditional tobacco. Shisha (a type of tobacco smoked in hookahs) that is used at stores, some cigars, and loose-leaf pipe tobacco are still legal. Counties and cities can still choose to pass stricter laws than Prop 31.
Where did Prop 31 come from?
The California state government passed a law inAugust 2020 (SB-793) that made the same changes. Tobacco companies opposed the law and led a successful effort to put it to a ballot measure, which stopped it from going into effect until the measure was voted on. The top funders of this effort were the tobacco companies R.J. Reynolds, Philip Morris, and ITG Brands. Voters rejected the tobacco companies’actions and approved the law by passing Prop 31.
What will the impact of this change be?
The California LegislativeAnalyst’s Office, a non-partisan group that gives the California legislature fiscal and policy advice, estimates that the state will make anywhere from tens of
taxes, depending on how many fewer tobacco products people buy, because of the change in the law. No one is sure how much less commercial tobacco people will buy, but overall, people are very likely to buy less.
Supporters of the new law point to surveys suggesting that flavors are an important reason minors are interested in tobacco products. They hope that removing flavored tobacco from physical stores will reduce tobacco initiation, especially among youth.
What does this mean forAmerican Indians?
State laws like this do not apply to members of federally recognized Tribes in Indian Country.Anyone who operates a retail store in California and not on a reservation or rancheria will be subject to the new law.
When will it take effect?
According to the Public Health Law Center, the law is already in effect as of December 21, 2022.
If you or someone you know wants to quit commercial tobacco, Kick It! California is a free service available through online chat or phone calls.Aquit coach helps the person quitting come up with a personalized plan, including identifying triggers for commercial tobacco use and discussing quit aids like nicotine patches or gum. Text “Quit Smoking” or “Quit Vaping” to 66819. You can also call 1-800-300-8086, https://www.kickitca.org/
Please feel free to contact the NATIVE Tobacco Project at United Indian Health Services at 707-825-5000.
