The Shuumi Land Tax is a financial tool that is a voluntary annual contribution that non-Indigenous people living on the Confederated Villages of Lisjan’s territory can make to support the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. The tax directly supports the Trust’s work of rematriation, Indigenous land to Indigenous people, establishing a cemetery for stolen Ohlone ancestral remains, and building urban gardens, community centers, and ceremonial spaces. The link also provides a tax calculator, ways to get involved and support the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.
