This project illuminates the diverse histories within the environmental movement that are often overlooked, watered-down, or entirely erased. Throughout the video’s progression, friends of IE unpack the vital contributions that Black, Indigenous + people of color have made to the environmental movement. Our goal is to support these often-overlooked narratives + the original stewards of our lands; encourage folks to reclaim their relationships with nature; and amplify initiatives that are creating a more just + equitable future for all people + the planet.

We are so grateful for IE's community members, council members, and friends for helping us bring this project to life + we're so excited to share it in full, and engage in discussions + critiques of it with you all.

Our intentions with the project: illuminate historically-overlooked narratives of community members, organizers + original stewards of Turtle Island. shed light on the contributions Black, Indigenous + people of color have made to the environmental movement. encourage folks to reclaim their relationships with the nature they're already a part of amplify initiatives that are creating a more just + equitable future for all people + the planet
