The California Natural Resources Agency is proud of our tribal affairs logo for our Tribal Nature-Based Solutions program and Native American Heritage month. Our State Parks team designed this logo to help elevate tribal affairs work at the Agency and stress the importance of protecting and respecting culturally important native species. The species depicted in the design – red abalone and white sage – are culturally important to many California Native American people and each species’ population is facing a rapid decline in nature. By highlighting these important species, we hope to create awareness of their ecological and cultural importance to encourage their respectful treatment. CNRA encourages anyone wishing to learn more about the cultural importance of these species to research and listen to the Native leaders, elders, and cultural practitioners advocating for the protection and respect of these species.
