Today marks the 8th anniversary of the start of the Dakota resistance camps- Sacred Stone/Oceti Sakowin Camp. Late IEN Matriarch and organizer, Joye Braun was the first one to camp at Standing Rock. We carry forward her cries of Mni Wiconi to stop extraction against Mother Earth.

On this #InternationalTransDayOfVisibility , we recognize the alarming rates of violence, discrimination, homelessness and suicide that our Trans relatives and Two Spirit relatives experience. These relatives are sacred, and society must do more to protect them.

Today, on #WorldWaterDay , we recognize the vital connection between water and Indigenous Peoples. Water is our relative- and our relationship to water is reflected in our Indigenous languages. Protecting our waters also means protecting our knowledge systems #WaterIsLife

“We understand solar geoengineering to be a violation of Indigenous cosmovision, as well as the creative principles of the harmony of the natural ecological systems of Mother Earth and Father Sky.” - Tom BK Goldtooth

There is a direct link between forest health and Indigenous Peoples’ stewardship. It is our Traditional Indigenous Knowledge and traditional practices like cultural burns that enable our forests to thrive.

Happy #SpringEquinox , relatives!

Spring marks a season of renewal, growth, and change, as melting snow rejuvenates waterways, providing nourishment for all living beings.

Ceremonies, songs, and stories anchor us, commemorating Mother Earth's continuous cycle of life.

Indigenous Peoples are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Climate change is forcing Indigenous communities to take swift measures to protect their traditional foods, natural resources and ways of life.

Rivers are integral to the holistic well-being of Indigenous Peoples, symbolizing our deep connection to our lands and the natural world. These waterways weave stories of resilience, support connection, provide sustenance and foster healing.
