Abstract

The article "What Land Back Looks Like: The Yakama Nation's 160-Year Fight for Tract D" explores the Yakama Nation's efforts to reclaim Tract D, a 121,000-acre area taken from them. Through legal battles and public support, the Yakama Nation successfully regained unpatented lands in 1968 and a 21,008-acre parcel in 1972. The return of Mt. Adams in 2022 marked a significant milestone in their ongoing struggle for Indigenous land rights, emphasizing the importance of compromise and restorative justice in resolving boundary disputes. The Yakama Nation's victory serves as a powerful example of tribes reclaiming ancestral lands through agreements and legal means, contributing to the growing Land Back movements across the country.
