After meeting Winona LaDuke in 1991 Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers decided to hone their environmental commitment to the indigenous community. They formed Honor The Earth in collaboration with Indigenous Environmental Network, Indigenous Women's Network and Seventh Generation Fund. The non-profit organization was founded to raise awareness and financial support for Indigenous environmental justice.1 The campaign priorities of Honor the Earth are:
*energy justice/creating a new energy economy2
*sacred site protection3
*environmental justice
*promoting leadership amongst Native youth in Native communities
*renewable energy4
