Organization Overview: Honor the Earth is the only Native Organization that provides financial support and organization support to Native environmental initiatives. The Minnesota based organization is a partner of the Stop Line 3 advocacy group. Their mission is to create awareness and support for Native environmental issues and develop needed financial and political resources to survive 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.

Today Indigenous Americans have less than 5% of their homelands. If you live in the United States, chances are you live in native ancestral lands. Indigenous Americans are disproportionately affected by climate change because of long-standing cultural traditions, sustainable stewardship practices, and livelihoods that rely on the lands. Currently, in Minnesota, the Anishinaabe tribe and environmentalists are fighting Line 3, a proposed pipeline expansion that would put Anishinaabe lands at risk of depleted watersheds, harvests, oil spills, and more. Indigenous American voices are vital when understanding environmental justice, environmental racism, land management, and climate policy.
