Maine and California have seen recent efforts to return tribal land to Native American communities. In Maine, tribal land has been successfully conserved, showcasing the potential for conservation. UC Berkeley has taken a significant step towards repatriating 4,400 Native American human remains. The National Science Foundation aims to integrate traditional ecological knowledge and Western science at the Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledges and Science. Western conservationists have historically overlooked Indigenous people's knowledge and land claims, but this is changing.
