Honor the Earth is seeking funding proposals for their Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative.

Resilience Theory is a discussion about how communities and societies will adapt to climate change.  Honor the Earth understands that we must mitigate climate change and adapt, or we will be in a very difficult place as Indigenous peoples.  Honor the Earth’s Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative will grant to organizations working to increase Indigenous communities’ capacity to prevent and adapt to climate change in ways that preserve and restore Indigenous cultures.

Funding for the Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative will focus on two goals:

1. Development of culturally-based, Indigenous solutions to climate change based on re-localizing food and energy economies;

2. Restoration of traditional knowledge as a key adaptation and mitigation strategy to ensure a safe and healthy future for our children and the next seven generations.
