Honor the Earth often makes news at different levels, internationally, regionally and locally, in Native and non-Native communities.
But our history has also taught us that if we want to truly own our story, we have to tell it ourselves.

False solutions to the climate crisis harm Mother Earth
One lithium mine currently being proposed on Turtle Island is at Thacker Pass. With plans for completion of Phase I to occur in 2027, the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine is a prime example of the harms caused by extraction. The project was launched without the consent of the local tribes in the region. It will also bring about mancamps, or temporary living situations for predominantly male laborers. Mancamps are correlated to the high percentage of missing and murdered Indigenous women and relatives.
Understanding the Threat of Green Colonialism
Green Colonialism is an obstacle to environmental justice. True environmental justice must center Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and, Free Prior and Informed Consent, and Land Back.
We refuse to let any more Indigenous Lands become Sacrifice Zones.

Supporting the world’s first scientists: Indigenous Peoples

How the new administration is supporting settler colonialism in Palestine
The United States has for decades played a critical role in supporting Israel’s apartheid state, including murder of more than 50,000 Palestinians just this past year. Those of us who resist genocide are united in a struggle against colonial aggression, and our freedom is intertwined.
Defending Indigenous Sovereignty amid the latest attacks on our Lands
Because of the special relationship between sovereign Tribal Nations and the United States government, we are aptly and uniquely positioned to leverage our political status to assert and reaffirm tribal sovereignty while also advocating for others. We know tribal sovereignty is good for everybody.
No One is Illegal on Stolen Land: How we can keep undocumented relatives safe
At Honor The Earth, we believe that no one is illegal on stolen land and that the so-called “migrant crisis” is best understood as a crisis manufactured and created by colonialism. Colonial governments on Turtle Island have long imposed artificial borders on Indigenous lands while implementing a racist system that values the lives of white “citizens” over others.
