A framework for justice work that empowers impacted communities.
We follow a simple but powerful principle: true climate action comes from supporting grassroots leaders in communities directly impacted by environmental issues. This isn’t just about giving them a voice; it’s about building the stage for them and choosing to stay off it ourselves. Our focus is on real change, not seizing opportunities for visibility.
Native Daily Network champions Indigenous voices through diverse media, blending powerful storytelling with advocacy. Our focus extends to education, social justice, and upholding Indigenous sovereignty, fostering a dynamic platform for impactful narratives and emerging talents..
Our diverse output includes documentaries, articles, podcasts, and videos, spotlighting Indigenous experiences, direct advocacy, and cultural events. Through our comprehensive website, we serve as a resource hub, amplifying these stories and fostering community engagement.
Our work in media bolsters advocacy, education, and cultural heritage. We keep Indigenous histories alive and vibrant, promoting climate justice and indigenous sovereignty. A prime example is our documentary “Ancestral Waters 2022” and its accompanying educational program, showcasing our dedication to these causes.
Our mission focuses on actively engaging with Indigenous communities through events and programs that honor our heritage and modern realities. We value adaptability in responding to immediate community needs.
We host significant events such as Indigenous Peoples Day and “Indigenous Together” gatherings, conduct workshops, and engage in cultural exchanges. Providing resources like sage smudge kits and participating in educational outreach and speaking engagements, we respond promptly to community needs, like aiding homeless Indigenous communities during the pandemic.
Our efforts reinforce community bonds and honor Indigenous culture, contributing to resilience and addressing social challenges. Through educational outreach, spiritual support, and direct assistance, we empower communities, uphold Indigenous sovereignty, and foster collaboration among Indigenous nonprofits, enhancing collective support.
Dedicated to protecting Uŋčí Maká (Grandmother Earth) and advancing Indigenous rights, our mission is deeply rooted in amplifying grassroots voices. Our significant contributions, like coining “water protectors” during the Standing Rock DAPL resistance and supporting the Puyallup Tribe against the Tacoma LNG project, highlight our commitment to impactful storytelling and advocacy in environmental and social justice issues.
Our advocacy includes a spectrum of strategies such as education through media, art, free speech, and policy advocacy. At the core of these efforts is our storytelling, which elevates local Indigenous leadership and brings to light critical environmental and social justice issues.
Our storytelling and active involvement in supporting justice movements alongside affected communities helps highlight truthful narratives that resonate globally and also effect real local change in Indigenous communities. By championing Indigenous rights, we advocate for vital environmental concerns like clean water and unpolluted land, as well as promoting treaty rights and cultural considerations that crucial for the sustainability of these communities and the planet.
