We invoke the guidance of Indigenous People
California Ohlone
“We are Amah Mutsun, of the lands known to us as Popeloutchom. Home to our four-legged, winged, finned, and plant kin; they have provided us with all that we needed for millennia—we will care for them. Resting place of those that came before us and cradle of those yet to come, they are sacred—we will protect them.”
Sogorea Te’ Land Trust is an urban Indigenous women-led land trust based in the San Francisco Bay Area that facilitates the return of Indigenous land to Indigenous people.
California Coast Miwok
Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin Since time immemorial, as long as the sun has filled our days with the gift of light, and as long as the moon has guided our path at night, Coast Miwok people, who hold the uncontestable aboriginal title, have occupied, tended, stewarded, held sacred ceremonies, defended and governed according to the traditions of our ancestors the unceded lands of present-day Marin County, California.

Humanity must choose a New Path to avoid rapid Ecological Breakdown, Lakota Spiritual Leader says Sept 13, 2024
RAPID CITY, S.D.—Humanity stands at a crossroads and must come together to realize dramatically different and supportive relationships with one another, the Earth, and all life on the planet, if we are to surmount cascading ecological and social crises now underway.
That was the message of Arvol Looking Horse, the spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota peoples, who welcomed hundreds of attendees to the 12th World Wilderness Congress convening the last week of August in the Black Hills, or Hé Sapa in the Lakota language.

Welcome to the Sacred Covenant, a unified vision to restore Mother Earth and unite humanity.
In an era marked by division and environmental degradation, the Sacred Covenant stands as a beacon of hope and unity.
Born from the profound commitment at the historic Second Gathering of the Union of the Condor, Hummingbird, Quetzal, and Eagle, over 250 Indigenous representatives convened at the ancient ceremonial site of Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico. Representing the voices of 80 million Indigenous peoples and many allies, this gathering marked a pivotal step in our journey toward peace and harmony, underpinning our shared Sacred Covenant: Unite Humanity. Restore Mother Earth.
Our covenant transcends mere agreement; it is a sacred call to action. It invites us all to embark on a transformative journey—to repair the divisions among us and to become steadfast guardians of our planet. Rooted in the interconnectedness of all life, we aim to dissolve boundaries and foster a global community that honors and sustains the sacred web of life.
Guided by sixteen Indigenous principles, our ethical framework, and a culture of collaboration, we pledge to protect our Mother Earth and nurture a world alive with unity, love, and compassion. Join us in honoring and fulfilling Humanity’s Sacred Mission to create a regenerative world where the sacred web of life flourishes.
