The Sierra Club is committed to actively promoting and advocating for the rights of Indigenous peoples, supporting their efforts for Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC), honoring Treaty rights regarding land and water, increasing access on federal lands for cultural practices and gathering, protecting of sacred sites on federal lands, and building power for Tribal partners at the grassroots and all levels of government. The exploitation of lands goes hand in hand with the exploitation of people.
We oppose efforts to dispossess Indigenous peoples of their lands, their cultures, and their right to self-determination. We support Native Peoples' wielding of their sovereign powers to protect the environment and to establish environmental justice.
