Anastasia Maier is the Director of Land Clinic, a loving invitation for the legal system to move from rupture to repair by utilizing tools, processes, and systems that may help connect individuals to the histories and ecologies of a place. She incorporates legal design, dance and somatics, mothering young children as well as an ancestrally-informed root into her work. Examples of this work are estate planning for land-based legacies, negotiating with the US Forest Service and National Park Service for rematriation efforts, relationship memorialization through contract, mapping ancestral homelands and building accessible legal land tools.
