The data presented in RNT concluded that pop culture, media and K-12 education drive and perpetuate the negative stereotypes and myths and has led to the erasure of Native peoples. By honing IllumiNative’s focus on these drivers, this initiative will provide opportunities to not only substantially increase accurate and positive representations of Native peoples, but also positively impact policy and end the continued discrimination and disparities faced by Native communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4ecfa54e9f072dc0eca301/30851b70-ca31-4a0d-8210-f8ace9333ec5/Screen%2BShot%2B2022-10-09%2Bat%2B12.08.43%2BPM.jpg 2025 Grantees - HONOR THE EARTH Honor the Earth is a Native-led organization, established by Winona LaDuke and Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, in 1993 to address the two primary needs of the Native environmental movement: the need to break the geographic and political isolation of Native communities and the need to increase financial resources for organizing and change. Honor the Earth’s mission is to create awareness and support for Native environmental issues and to develop needed financial and political resources for the survival of sustainable Native communities. Honor the Earth develops these resources by using music, the arts, the media, and Indigenous wisdom to ask people to recognize our joint dependency on the Earth and be a voice for those not heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4ecfa54e9f072dc0eca301/4a49ab5a-538c-435b-99dd-ad7e47c241eb/muhammadtaha-ibrahim-1543103-unsplash-scaled-e1603191250509-ox6wlcj5h03r2tvzozwxmu6mq2f6c6gqbhzvs13yq0.jpg 2025 Grantees - URGENT ACTION FUND – AFRICA Urgent Action Fund-Africa is a consciously feminist and women’s human rights Pan-African Fund established in 2001 in Nairobi, Kenya.
