Healthy Land, Healthy People: Tribal Co-Stewardship Shows Benefits for Public Lands and Native Communities

This new in-depth piece by Ian Marynowski is now available at Corner Post.

“Yanawant” is the Paiute word for what is now known as the Grand Staircase region. According to archeologists, the Paiute Tribes have lived in the region for at least 13,000 years, along with the ancestors of many other tribes, until they were removed by the U.S. government and placed on reservations throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

The trauma caused by this forced relocation has left intergenerational traces which have been observed in the growing field of epigenetics—how genes are expressed in the body. The genetic effects of historical trauma have been linked to elevated rates of depression, anxiety, cardiac disease, diabetes and substance abuse in affected communities.

With a goal of sharing information about traditional techniques and facilitating reconnection through roles in hands-on management, programs like those implemented by Grand Staircase Escalante Partners, the non-profit friends group of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, aim to involve members of the Hopi, Paiute Tribes of Utah and Havasupai in co-stewardship projects within the monument and surrounding public lands.

“I've witnessed it within myself, healing from generational trauma by going out into the landscape and reconnecting,” said Autumn Gillard, cultural resource manager for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. “But also by being able to provide that to a peer of mine and hearing from them when we're coming home that they feel so much better.”

Thanks to all of our generous readers and supporters of both Corner Post and The Insider (our local two-county newspaper here in Garfield and Wayne counties, Utah), Corner Post Media was able to raise $19,000 through our 2024 NewsMatch campaign!

That means, thanks to individual donations and matches from both NewsMatch and the Rural Partner Fund, we raised a total of $37,000 in support of regional and local journalism.

So thanks to you, we reached—and surpassed—our $15,000 donation goal. In all we received individual gifts of almost $11,000 for Corner Post. This support from individual donors, in addition to the matching gifts, will help us produce stories that support our mission of digging deep into the intersection of culture and land.

What an incredible start to 2025. We are amazed and incredibly grateful for all of the contributions that we have received.

It is hard work building a media organization, but we believe that it is work worth doing, and we couldn't do this without you!

Corner Post Media was among over 400 nonprofit media organizations participating in NewsMatch. Your contribution is part of a much larger effort to support local reporting produced by many different kinds of media outlets across the country.

Thanks for being a part of the movement to support local journalism.

We are so fortunate for the support we've received for Corner Post Media through readers of Corner Post and readers of The Insider newspaper. Altogether, our community has helped us surpass our 2024 NewsMatch fundraising goal of $15,000, and helped us raise $18,355.96!

But there are still a few hours to go in 2024 before our campaign closes at midnight.

To build on our success, we've set a stretch goal of $19,000. Right now, small donations—$5, $25, $50 or a donation of any size, will serve as the icing on our 2024 NewsMatch Campaign cake! Your donation today—and through midnight tonight—will give us a strong start to 2025.

Donations to Corner Post will support in-depth, regional journalism on issues related to culture and land across the Colorado Plateau.

And thank you so much to all who have supported us and made our campaign a great success.

In a little over a week, we will herald in the new year, which marks the end of our 2024 NewsMatch fundraising campaign. That means that you have 8 days left to double the impact of your donation to Corner Post Media, and we are only $1,325 shy of our goal of $15,000 by December 31!

We're extremely grateful for all of the support we've received—from individuals like you who see a future of quality journalism as an important service to our region.

Your donation today—and through December 31 (for gifts of up to $1,000 per donor)—will go towards funding grassroots, regional reporting that serves the people who live in and love the Colorado Plateau. If we meet our goal of raising $15,000 from individual donors, that's $30,000 for Colorado Plateau journalism; that's a lot of impact!

Any amount—$25, $50, $100 or more—will go a long way to helping us achieve this goal.

Time is running out! Can you help us reach our goal with a donation to Corner Post Media today?

Thanks to all who have donated to our NewsMatch campaign so far, to date, we have now raised $10,100 and are only $4,900 shy of our goal of $15,000 by December 31!

With 19 days to go until 2025, we've been reflecting on all that we have achieved, and where we're headed. We've created a small, but growing, media company committed to the future of journalism serving our region, and we're building a base of reader-supporters. Support from individuals like you is both producing our current stories and helping position our organization for future—and sustainable—growth.

It is not easy building a media company in a remote region from the ground up, but we think that it is worth the effort to create something meaningful—a nonprofit media organization that focuses on and serves the people of the Colorado Plateau region and that connects the people who live in and love this area together.

During the final few weeks of our 2024 NewsMatch campaign, we're asking you to help us meet our goal of raising $15,000 for Corner Post Media. We have just $4,900 to go!

Your donation today—and through December 31 (for gifts of up to $1,000 per donor)—will be matched by NewsMatch, doubling the impact of your gift. This means that if we meet our goal of raising $15,000 from individual donors, we'll raise $30,000 for Colorado Plateau journalism.

Any amount—$20, $50, $100 or more—will go a long way to helping us achieve this goal.

It’s (or what we prefer to call ), which is built on the idea of radical generosity following the splurging of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This day is all about helping our communities, showing up for issues that matter, and acknowledging our shared humanity.

You’re likely receiving a lot of emails like this one today, so why donate to Corner Post? We are a grassroots, regional media organization, which focuses on finding those stories that are most impactful to those who live on and love the Colorado Plateau region.

This —and through December 31—NewsMatch will double the impact of your gift—and every individual gift up to $1,000 per donor—to a match cap for Corner Post Media of $15,000.

We are hoping to reach a goal of raising $2,000 by the end of the day today! We have just 24 hours to reach our goal! Any size donation is valued and appreciated, from $10, $25, or $50, all the way up to the NewsMatch cap of $1,000 per individual donor.

With your help, we will reach our overall goal of $15,000 raised by December 31, 2024.
