Give Indigenously
Each November is designated as Native American Heritage Month and is a time to honor and celebrate the diverse cultures of the original Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. The month gives us an opportunity provide education about the vast contributions Native Americans have made and educate about both historical and ongoing challenges that affect Native Americans today. This Native American Heritage Month, we want to introduce you to the concept of giving the Indigenous way.
Giving is not seen as transactional, obligatory, or as needing immediate or direct reciprocation. Giving is a shared value that creates kinship and relationship. Giving the Indigenous way is rooted in community-based accountability and responsibility for one another and the world we live in – we are bound to take care of one another and are responsible for all things we are dependent upon. It is a Sacred duty to care for one another. It is an honor to receive and equally an honor to give. We strengthen all of our relationships with one another and the Earth by giving the Indigenous way.
As a non-profit membership organization, much of our programmatic work relies on the compassion and support of like-minded individuals who are committed to Indigenous rights and values. We need your commitment, time, advocacy, and most important, we need you to give the Indigenous way through financial support for the programs that have shaped a path for self-determination, sovereignty and intergenerational healing for the next 100 years. Your gift will support our work to strengthen Native voices, human rights, health, and healing—which will strengthen our shared values.
We are still here. We are still strong. But we need you to join the movement to help us create a world where diverse Native American cultures and values are truly lived, protected, and respected.
Together, we can make a difference today and for our future generations.
