What backs it

California State Parks and the Mono Lake Kootzaduka'a Tribe signed a memorandum of understanding on 29 August at a ceremony on the lakeshore. It guarantees access and traditional gathering rights for tribal members across Bodie State Historic Park and Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve, and commits the two to caring for the natural and cultural resources around the tufa towers together. It is State Parks' 16th such agreement with a California tribe.

Worth noting

The tribe still lacks federal recognition, and the agreement covers consultation, access and co-stewardship rather than any transfer of land or ownership.
