Protecting the Sacred
Who We Are
We are a multi-generational group of Indigenous leaders, community organizers, culture and language-keepers, educators and scholars, scientists, activists, artists, social services providers, attorneys, judges, and traditional spiritual elders.
We come from all environments including reservations, urban, and rural settings. We offer diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills. Our core values include being caretakers of our relationship with the land, caring for our elders and youth, as well as preserving our rich cultural traditions.
For more information, take a look at our 2023 Protecting the Sacred Overview Booklet.

of an astonishingly open abuse of state power.
