HONOR THE EARTH (USA)

creates awareness and provides support for Native environmental
issues and develops needed financial and political resources for
the survival of sustainable Native communities. Honor the Earth
develops these resources by using music, the arts, the media,
and Indigenous wisdom to ask people to recognize our joint
dependency on the Earth and be a voice for those not heard.

Honor the Earth has launched a new initiative on Indigenous
Women’s Leadership focused on sustainable development,
energy policy, restoring traditional economies, and community
organizing. In addition to the ongoing work around eradicating
sexual violence in extraction zones, and fighting dangerous oil
pipelines, fracking and coal operations that Honor the Earth
remains committed to, this new effort aims to empower, mentor,
and grow women’s leadership in Indigenous communities.
Activities include trainings in energy policy, community
organizing, and strategic decision-making, on-the-job training,
non-violent direct actions and more.
