Overview

Honor the Earth is a grassroots movement that focuses on addressing Native environmental issues. Its creators felt that it was time to remove themselves from isolation and fight for the pressing envorionmental issues that Native communities have faced for years. These key environmental battles in North America can only be fought with sufficient financing and support. Honor the Earth has successfully used music, art, fashion, literature, and other tactics to raise awareness and promote change.

Mission Statement

"Our mission is to create awareness and support for Native environmental issues and to develop 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."
