Greenaction works with Native Nations and grassroots Indigenous peoples
to protect Indigenous peoples’ health, environment, sacred sites, and culturally significant landscapes and areas from pollution and desecration. Greenaction supports and respects the Tribal Sovereignty of Native Nations. State and federal governments everywhere must respect
Tribal Sovereignty. Greenaction supports and recognizes that Indigenous peoples have lived in harmony with the earth for thousands of years and have engaged in sustainable hunting and fishing for food and as part of cultural and religious practices. Greenaction supports the UN Declaration of Indigenous Peoples.

Indigenous people played a key role in forming Greenaction in 1997 and continue to play a leading role, including on our Board of Directors.
