PROJECT
Building Power, Protecting Land: A Movement in Motion
As we scale our impact, four cornerstone initiatives are guiding our mission forward. Our upcoming book shares powerful stories from the frontlines of land justice, giving voice to communities often unheard. The fundraising gala will bring together allies and donors in support of land rights, resilience, and reform. Our Shopify eCommerce shop launches as a platform to fund our work through ethical goods that reflect our values. And through our active participation in the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, we’re raising visibility for land defenders on a global stage. Together, these projects are more than events, they are expressions of a growing movement to defend land, dignity, and the right to remain rooted.

United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)
The UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is the United Nations’ central body dedicated to advancing the rights and well-being of Indigenous peoples worldwide. Held annually at the UN Headquarters in New York, the forum serves as a powerful platform for Indigenous leaders, governments, civil society organizations, and experts to engage in meaningful dialogue and shape global policy.
The forum addresses key themes such as land rights, cultural preservation, environmental protection, and social inclusion, providing strategic recommendations to UN agencies and member states. It plays a vital role in monitoring the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and ensuring that Indigenous voices are not only heard, but acted upon.
Our engagement with the UNPFII reaffirms our commitment to Indigenous-led advocacy, ancestral land protection, and global solidarity.
