$4.5 million land deal provides Esselen Tribe of Monterey County 1,199 acres along Little Sur River to restore its history and culture.
Redwoods and Little Sur River are part of Adler Ranch in Big Sur. Nearly 250 years ago, when Spanish soldiers built a military outpost in Monterey and Franciscan padres founded the Carmel, Soledad, and San Antonio missions nearby, the Esselen tribe — who had lived in the area for 8,000 years — was decimated.
Most important, it represents the first time that the Esselen Tribe has regained any of its former territory more than 200 years after Spanish missionaries upended the tribe’s society, causing 90% of the roughly 1,000 Esselen people by the early 1800s to die of disease and other causes. Simply put, the Esselens are landless no more.
“We’re the original stewards of the land. Now we’re returned.” he said. “We are going to conserve it and pass it on to our children and grandchildren and beyond.”
