80 Tribes Sign “Reclamation of Independence” Treaty
On July 4, 2017, 80 Tribes came together to sign a “Reclamation of Independence” treaty addressing two critical issues shared among Tribal communities: Keystone XL and grizzly bear delisting. Nellis Kennedy-Howard, Sierra Club’s Director of Equity, Inclusion and Justice, shares her experience attending the convening in a powerful blog post.
In solidarity with Native communities, the Sierra Club Foundation provides support for the Sierra Club’s Beyond Dirty Fuels Campaign, working to stop the construction of dangerous, polluting pipelines like Keystone XL and Dakota Access, and the Sierra Club’s Our Wild Greater Yellowstone Campaign, which will continue to advocate for the protection of Yellowstone grizzly bears despite their delisting from the endangered species list.
