\n\nAttempts to engage Tribal Nations are generally well-intended but under-informed. A general lack of understanding of Indigenous worldviews and tribal sovere ignty has often led to “one size fits all” solutions that do not fit the n eeds\, wants\, or desires of that community. Layered with a history of non -indigenous entities utilizing extractive practices in their relationships \, the result has been a legacy of distrust. In response to this\, many tr ibes are highly selective in who they work with and why as they seek to pr otect the very things that have been\, and currently are\, under threat: t heir land\, language\, culture\, families\, and sacred teachings.

Guest speaker: Leslie Jonas
\n\nCurrently\, the condition of the water is critical as our water ways are sick and dying. This current condition threatens the lifeways of the local indigenous people who have lived and thrived in these natural en vironments for millenia. Concepts like Rewilding were introduced to revers e biodiversity loss but can exclude the local traditional ecological knowl edge systems that have kept the natural world in balance since time immemo rial.

\n
Background
\nIn 2021\, the Massachusetts Legislature added a ne
w section to the state’s Zoning Act (MGL Chapter 40A) — MBTA Communities Multifamily Zoning Requirement (Sec
tion 3A) — that requires each municipality in the MBTA d
istrict to zone for by-right multifamily housing near tr
ansit stations or smart growth locations.
span>
MAPC has de veloped an interactive MBTA Communities Multifamily Zoning Requirement (Se ction 3A) District Suitability Analysis Tool to help municipalities within the MAPC region identify locations for 3A zoning districts that also adva nce regional and local goals.
\n\nThis Webinar\n< span class='x_x_xnormaltextrun'>MAPC staff will provide an overview of the tool’s use and showcase how it may be applied\, in tandem with sta keholder-driven processes\, to facilitate conversations around areas suita ble for new housing production.

\nDLTA is a unique program in the state budget that enables MAPC and our sister regional planning agencies in Massachuset ts to provide cities and towns with the technical assistance they need to take on necessary projects which they don’t have the capacity to address o n their own\, and to partner with neighboring communities to tackle shared projects with reduced administrative burden.
