Igniting Indigenous Guardianship in the Sierra Nevada

All people respect Indigenous cultural ecologies of the Sierra Nevada.

Indigenous voices, leadership, and knowledge are centered in the movement to restore resiliency to our environment and communities.

Rights of Nature are honored, and everyone understands their inherent caretaking responsibility to be a guardian.

Indigenous peoples restore and protect the land through practices that have sustained the region for generations.

All of our relations (humans and more than humans) are given equal voice.

Women’s voices as cultural keepers are centered.

All peoples learn from the land, creating intergenerational cultural wisdom.
