Latest LaDuke book examines the impacts of the federal military on Native American lands

It is with a very heavy heart and deep sadness that we learned of the passing of our dear friend & staff member, Leslie Walking Elk. Leslie was Winona’s adopted sister. Her loss was unexpected and we are pulling together for support during this difficult time.

Honor the Earth is excited to announce changes to our overall organizational structure and the consolidation of our offices. We will maintain our space in northern Minnesota on the White Earth reservation. Historically, we have also held an office in Minneapolis, but due to recent changes we are working solely out of our northern office.

Honor the Earth's new grants round is open with a deadline of November 9th. All proposals can be submitted by mail to: 607 Main Avenue, Callaway, Minnesota 56521 or by email to: [email protected]

When considering energy production, resource extraction, housing and energy efficiency it is essential that the administration take into account the disproportionate impacts of climate change and energy development on American Indian reservation and Alaska Native villages, and the potential for catalyzing green reservation economies. We ask that the administration consult with Honor the Earth, Intertribal Council On Utility Policy and the Indigenous Environmental Network, representing a network of 250 grassroots tribal organizations and tribes, to ensure input from impacted communities is fully taken into account, and to ensure Native American participation in the green economy of the future.

Winona LaDuke on the Warriors of Peace, the Ogichidaag

Winona LaDuke Spoke at Northwest Indian College this week. Along with Chief Rueben George and Jewel James. The speakers discussed the topics of environmental justice, human rights, preservation of sacred indigenous sites, and global efforts to protect the environment. They also spoke about the proposed Cherry Point shipping terminal, which Lummi leaders have said they are opposed to because of environmental concerns and the cultural significance of the area.

Honor the Earth is pleased to announce these grants being given to thirtynine well-deserving organizations; $136,000 is being re-granted this year.
