Advocacy

Our organization supports advocacy efforts that center and uplift Indigenous communities and their priorities. We align our work with initiatives whose principles seek to uphold and realize the inherent rights of Indigenous people and nature. This includes ensuring Indigenous peoples and Tribal Nations are empowered to assert their sovereignty and self-determination. We are currently involved in various endeavors to protect desert landscapes from threats including mining, harmful development, vandalism and climate change. It is our responsibility to speak up for the wellbeing of plants, animals, insects and all of our nonhuman relatives.


Our advocacy extends beyond engagement with stakeholders, governments, and corporations. We are small part of a much greater global network of Indigenous-led organizations who work on-the-ground and in public policy to address the systemic injustices of colonization, genocide, land theft, forced relocation, boarding schools and other harms imposed onto Indigenous people. As such, we deeply value supporting Native artists, creatives, scholars, cultural educators, cultural programs and experts because it fosters a more comprehensive picture of how we advocate for ourselves and our homelands. By nurturing these types of reciprocal relationships in Indian Country, we better support each other and our contributions to collective healing.
