NDN Collective Stories

“We are being shut out as environmental and climate related policy is part of the debt ceiling negotiations.”

It is critical in the coming days and weeks that we mobilize and tell President Biden to reject the #DirtyDeal & #DefaultOnAmerica Act!

Las subvenciones de $100,000 por año, con compromisos de hasta dos años, están disponibles para organizaciones lideradas por indígenas que trabajan en la defensa, el desarrollo o la descolonización de los Pueblos Indígenas y la Madre Tierra.

Des bourses de 100 000 USD par an, pour des engagements d’une durée de deux ans, sont disponibles pour les organisations dirigées par des autochtones qui travaillent à la défense, au développement et/ou à la décolonisation des peuples autochtones et de la planète.

"Residents of our community described concerns about potential impacts to our primary diet, Caribou, to global warming, and to our way of life. BLM has not come back to our community this time and we feel our people and their concerns have been overlooked."

It seems that despite its nod to traditional ecological knowledge, BLM does not consider relevant the extensive knowledge and expertise we have gained over millennia, living in a way that is so deeply connected to our environment.

NDN Collective joins hundreds at the American Indian Movement 4 Directions March commemorating the 1973 Occupation of Wounded Knee, and members of the team share reflections on the power and purpose of the day.

Des bourses allant jusqu’à 50 000 USD par an sont offertes aux artistes, aux porteurs·euses de culture et aux conteurs·euses autochtones de toutes traditions, médiums et genres œuvrant à la défense, au développement et à la décolonisation des peuples autochtones et de la planète. 

Challenging the commercialization of February 14, NDN Collective’s Southwest Regional Director Janene Yazzie calls attention to the MMIR (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives) Day of Awareness, National Day of Action, and grassroots efforts to fight the MMIR epidemic. Yazzie also shares future MMIR programming from NDN Collective coming soon.
