Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:04:39 GMT

VILNIUS, Lithuania — Many Americans and Europeans flatter themselves by seeing the war in Ukraine through a false prism.Too often, we think we have sacrificed for the Ukrainians. We pat ourselves on the back for providing expensive weapons and paying higher heating bills to help Ukrainians win their freedom — and we wish they’d get on with it.In fact, what’s clear here in the Baltic countries is that it’s the other way around: The Ukrainians are sacrificing for us. They’re the ones doing us a favor, by degrading the Russian military and reducing the risk of a war in Europe that would cost the lives of our troops.“We have by our support for Ukraine defended ourselves,” said Egils Levits, who concluded his term as Latvia’s president this month. He used his last full interview before leaving office to argue that the West should provide Ukraine with more weapons to ensure that it recovers all its territory, including Crimea — so that Vladimir Putin’s aggression is thoroughly discredited...

Miwok homeland site in Marin County returned to tribe after 150 years

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:04:39 GMT

More than 150 years after the last settlement on Coast Miwok land in Marin faded away, the county’s Indigenous Native American tribe is getting 26 acres of its homeland back in Nicasio.All the cards — and money — aligned this month to allow for what is called a “rematriation” of Coast Miwok land.“It’s coming home,” said tribal elder Joe Sanchez, whose ancestors on the maternal side are listed in the Nicasio census from the 1870s. “It’s coming back to our land.”Huukuiko, Inc., the nonprofit arm of the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin, closed the $1.3 million deal to buy the land on July 3. The purchase amount was collected in about two months in a whirlwind, 11th-hour fundraising campaign that drew in more than 85 individual and family foundation donors, said Nancy Binzen, a consultant with the tribe.RELATED: Bruce family gets deed back to California beach land stolen from Black entrepreneurs in 1920s“They say it takes a village to raise a child,” said Binzen, a Woodacre resident....
