Press Releases

After a year of research and collaboration, NDN Collective’s Climate Justice Campaign has released the much anticipated, first of its kind report, “Faulty Infrastructure and the Impacts of the Dakota Access Pipeline”.

NDN Collective announces the 2022 Radical Imagination LOI Open Application Phase. This grant is offered to Indigenous artists, culture bearers and storytellers from Turtle Island and surrounding Island Nations (U.S., Canada, Mexico, Islands of Hawai’i, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)

NDN Collective firmly stands as a proponent of anti-militarism and anti-imperialism, drawing on the direct impacts that war has on surrounding communities, ecosystems and the world at large. This invasion is a continuum of the military industrial complex that continues to serve as a pathway for exploitation and destruction.

Teresa "Terri" Peterson (Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota) will be leading NDN Collective's planning and implementation of the $50 million Community Trust grant announced in December from the Bush Foundation.

“We lost a warrior, an AIM leader, an elder, and a revolutionary. Clyde was a fearless leader who dodged bullets, sat jail time, marched in streets and built up Native communities. His fierceness in confronting racism and oppression have changed the conditions in which we organize and live in today."

NDN Collective and Nexus Community Partners share statement on collective liberation and closing the wealth gap. – "This grant is a step in the right direction – it’s the casting of a single stone in the pond, and it will stir up the waters a little."

NDN Collective selected as one of two organizations to receive the award. For the past three years, NDN Collective has redistributed funds to Indigenous communities throughout Turtle Island, issuing $12 million in grants last year.

Applications open for the Vice President position though January 1, 2022. Other open positions can be found at https://ndncollective.org/careers/.

"Precisely why I am here today, affirming what we all already know to be true -- which is that more public land leasing to oil and gas industries means that we will not achieve our climate targets, and instead we will be violating the commitments the U.S. has made to the global community around reducing our emissions as a nation. Leasing lands to oil and gas industries will move us closer towards catastrophic climate change, and cost the U.S. billions of dollars in potential future climate damages."
