Native Land Institute
Native Lands Institute is an organization dedicated to advancing economic, environmental, and social justice for indigenous communities across the Southwest and beyond. It is a connector and convener, working to support tribes and indigenous communities on a range of issues, empowering them to drive positive change from within.
PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW MEXICO WILD
New Mexico Wild is proud to host the Native Land Institute, to increase the capacity of Native voices to meaningfully engage and help lead on conservation and related policy issues affecting Native people.
We are committed to supporting indigenous-led efforts to proactively push forward a community-led agenda and to create more equitable, respectful, sustainable, and reciprocal relationships between conservation organizations and Tribal and Pueblo interests.
The Native Land Institute is working to become an independent organization, separate from its current fiscal sponsorship affiliation with New Mexico Wild.
This model initiative was made possible by the generous support from the Kellogg Family Foundation, Conservation Lands Foundation, Western Conservation Foundation, and The Wilderness Society.
