On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, the world celebrates our culture but what’s often unseen is the daily work to protect, revitalize, and honor in today's busy society. Each day, Indigenous peoples step into our role as caretakers of the land, defending our waters, air, and territories. #defendthesacred

Thank you to all who have given and to the many asking how they can help. Please contribute to support Simone’s child and family to have some financial ease through this difficult time. www.gofundme.com/f/simone-sen...

On #ZeroEmissionsDay let's commit to real solutions: ending fossil fuels, not just offsetting them. Real zero means cutting emissions at the source, not relying on carbon credits. It's time for action, not more false solutions. 🌍 #RealZeroNotNetZero #EndFossilFuels #KeepInTheGround

IEN joined thousands yesterday in NYC for the #MakeBillionairesPay march! IEN’s delegation held it down as we were asked to speak at a number of events before, during and after the march, while grabbing interviews from others in solidarity with protecting Mother Earth. #ClimateWeekNYC

Join us on during climate week to engage in a grassroots community report back. Learn from matriarchs and youth about Indigenous resistance in the climate movement and how you can get involved Register: bit.ly/IENCW2025

The Montreal Protocol united the world to protect the ozone layer, now we must reduce carbon emissions at source by keeping fossil fuels in the ground! We can’t afford to wait any longer… the time to act is NOW. #ZeroEmissions #EndFossilFuels #KeepInTheGround

Today, we celebrate the Amazon Rainforest! Spanning 60% of Brazil’s land, the Amazon holds nearly a third of the world’s remaining tropical rainforests. With its glory it still faces constant threats from industries and development, including deforestation for farming, timber, mining, and more.

Today we honor the Indigenous women around the world who carry passion, wisdom, and resilience for their people. Their voices contain the stories of generations, their spirit fuels movements, and their love nurtures communities. #IndigenousWomen #ProtectTheSacred #IndigenousWomensDay

Post 2/2 (see post from earlier today w/graphics): JTA's response to the latest #GlobalPlasticsTreaty text, with no agreement generated in Geneva. We will keep fighting for #justtransition! @ienearth.bsky.social @gcdcj.bsky.social

Watered down to dilute our demands, the #JustTransitionAlliance condemns the final text of the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty! Check out our initial response, with more to come. We will keep fighting for #JustTransition and are remotivated by the movement relationships we continued building at #INC5_2!

A broad coalition of organizations has signed a letter of unity standing in firm solidarity with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute White Mesa Community, the White Mesa Concerned Community group. Full Press Release: www.ienearth.org/coalition-of... #ProtectSacredLand

“this treaty is being formed about us, without us.” Tuesday August 12th the observer rooms were closed off, we were withheld from being able to make interventions on the floor. #DefendTheSacred #IndigenousJustTransition #JustTransition

Today we uplift Indigenous leadership and support the communities that stand to protect the sacred. #DefendTheSacred

From protecting our waters from contamination and our lands from exploitation, Indigenous Peoples continue to rise up to fulfill our Original Instructions and defend Mother Earth. We express our solidarity with those fighting against #falsesolutions and demanding an #IndigenousJustTransition.

🌈 Pride Month’s over — but guess what? ✨ We’re still Two-Spirit. Still sacred. Still slaying. 💥 Colonizers tried to delete us. We hit refresh instead. #TwoSpirit #IndigenousExcellence #DecolonizePride #WeBeenHere

Happy Summer Solstice, relatives! Today we welcome the longest day of the year, a time to honor the light, the land, and the cycles that connect us all. #SummerSolstice

Pollinators = Life! 🧵 From cotton to basketry 🌾 From food sovereignty to water quality 🦋 Pollinators teach us community, reciprocity & tradition. 🌍 Indigenous communities are leading the way, restoring habitat, culture & climate resilience. #PollinatorWeek

One struggle. One fight. For our right to freely exist. From Turtle Island to Gaza, Indigenous, migrant, and Palestinian lives are targeted by the same systems of colonialism, militarization, and violent state control. ✊🏽 #OneStruggle ✊🏿 #FreePalestine ✊🏼 #AbolishICE ✊🏾 #LandBack

🚨 Indigenous Sovereignty Under Attack — We’re Fighting Back. Join us on June 16 for a critical conversation on how the 47th President’s Executive Orders are threatening the rights of Indigenous Peoples & what we’re doing to defend our lands, waters, & futures. 
 📍 Zoom

Climate collapse isn’t the crisis, colonialism, capitalism & fascism are. Indigenous lands don’t know borders. We’re displaced by extraction, war & greed — not migration. From Turtle Island to Gaza: we rise, we resist, we fight for life & liberation. #NoBordersNoCages TiwCTJ.short.gy/vg5KXH

No one is illegal on Turtle Island. Colonial violence created borders, borders created the concept of “illegal people.” But Indigenous Peoples have always moved freely across these lands, guided by seasonal cycles, ancestral trade routes, and reciprocal relationships with Mother Earth.

The burning of fossil fuels releases 80% of the world’s total carbon, making it the number one driver behind the current climate crisis. Keeping fossil fuels in the ground is the number one solution needed to address climate change today. #KeepItInTheGround #EndCo2lonialism #IndigenousJustTransition

🌎 An Indigenous Just Transition is more than a vision—it’s a movement for action. It’s about transforming our economies, governance, and ways of being to align with Indigenous ways of being and knowing, and Natural Law. 🔗 Learn more: ienearth.org/justtransition

The Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) expresses profound concern over the recent jury verdict in Morton County, North Dakota, which found Greenpeace liable for over $660 million in damages to Energy Transfer (ET), (Cont..) www.ienearth.org/verdict-in-e...

A jury ruled Greenpeace liable for $660M in Energy Transfer’s baseless SLAPP suit. They want to erase Indigenous leadership at Standing Rock, but we know the truth—our movement was born from prayer, led by Native women + youth. No corporation can silence us. #WaterIsLife #WeWillNotBeSilenced
