We are an Indigenous conservation 501(c)(3) nonprofit

Our Indigenous conservation work is rooted in restoring right relationships. We do this in many diverse ways, advocating for and supporting environmental and climate justice, Rights of Nature, food and water sovereignty of Tribal Nations and Indigenous Peoples (TIP), and supporting practices, policies and laws that support TIP rights, Free, Prior and Informed Consent.
For those interested in learning more about TIP stewardship, access rights, and Rights of Nature, let's chat. Our intent is to ensure Spirit Relatives are protected in certification, land management, and legal processes to facilitate and support reciprocal and sustaining relationships centered on TIP practices and worldviews - that benefit all of us.

A series of 15th -century decrees from the Vatican which asserted that Christian European nations had the right to claim and seize lands inhabited by non-Christians and assert dominance over Indigenous Peoples - the justification for colonization around the world which perpetuates to this day.
