  LEARNING AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Honor The Earth was established by Winona LaDuke and Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Sailers. Since its founding in 1993 they have regranted over two million dollars to over 2oo Native American communities. Honor the Earth helps work on transitions from our destructive economy and way of life, back towards land based economics. They champion intergenerational and interspecies equity and systems that honor our natural resources. Our “highly destructive economy has reached material limits and is now resorting to extreme extraction.” Weather the removal of 500 mountaintops in Appalachia (largely for foreign coal contracts), extreme mining proposals in the Great Lakes region to Fracking and tar sands extraction. We are clearly on a scorched earth path and it is up to us to stop it.
