What We Do
Secure Land Rights
Restoring access and legal protections for Indigenous lands
We work to ensure Indigenous communities have rightful access to their ancestral lands. This includes acquiring and preserving deeded lands, partnering with local, state, and national organizations for protection, engaging in formal forums to represent Indigenous interests, and advocating for conservation, cultural recognition, and land rights.
Promote Sustainable Land Use
Supporting responsible stewardship and traditional practices
We support long-term stewardship of land, water, and wood to benefit both individuals and communities. Our efforts focus on developing and maintaining lands in ways that respect Indigenous knowledge, promote environmental balance, and strengthen community well-being.
Cultural and Economic Growth
Fostering self-sufficiency, cultural leadership, and community resilience
We foster self-sufficiency and resilience by supporting Indigenous-led enterprises, workforce development, and investment opportunities through partners. We also create spaces for cultural leadership, spiritual practices, and community building, ensuring traditions and knowledge are passed down to future generations.
