BREAKING: The New Mexico Supreme Court just ruled that Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) must adhere to state anti-discrimination laws. This is a victory for our client McKenzie Johnson, who was called a racial slur at school by her teacher while in class. All students, regardless of their background, deserve to learn in an environment free from discrimination and harassment.
We are super proud to be grantees of NDN Collective to help lend support in the movement. ?????
After 50 years of unjust incarceration and the tireless efforts of intergenerational grassroots organizing and advocacy, our elder and relative Leonard Peltier has been granted executive clemency. There is no real justice after losing 50 years of freedom, but today, our hearts burst with joy and gratitude for our uncle Leonard. Today, we remember the countless prayers that were said for Leonard. We remember and honor those who organized, mobilized, took to the streets, rallied, signed petitions, called representatives, lifted up his story, and fought against Leonard’s unjust incarceration across the U.S. and internationally— especially those who did not live long enough to see the end of it. Our hearts are with our relatives who are still unjustly incarcerated and continue to be targets of police and state violence. Although this fight to release Leonard Peltier from prison is over, the fight for justice and the healing of our People from systems that continue to target, criminalize, incarcerate, and murder our people is a fight we continue to take on here at NDN Collective, and for the protection of Indigenous rights globally. Please continue to hold Leonard in your hearts, and say prayers for all that comes next for him. His feet will soon be on the soil of his homelands.

Deb Haaland forever changed the course of history as the first Native American to serve in a U.S. Cabinet role, breaking through barriers that had stood for generations. Her tenure as Secretary of the Interior has been nothing short of transformative, embodying the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities and people. From confronting the painful legacy of Indian boarding schools to tackling the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people, Secretary Haaland has brought long-overdue attention and action to issues impacting Native communities. Her efforts extended to land stewardship, climate change, and tribal sovereignty, ensuring that Indigenous voices are at the forefront of shaping policies that affect their futures. One of her signature achievements includes the designation of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, bringing nearly one million acres under federal protection. This act not only safeguarded sacred lands but also reinforced the importance of protecting air, water, and natural resources for future generations. Secretary Haaland’s tenure has been defined by her unwavering dedication to justice, conservation, and Indigenous empowerment. She has demonstrated the power of inclusion and advocacy while honoring the rich histories and enduring resilience of Native peoples. As her groundbreaking service comes to a close, we express our deepest gratitude for her visionary leadership. Secretary Haaland, your legacy as a trailblazer and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable future will continue to inspire generations to come. We recognize you, Auntie Deb, as the powerful and life affirming Pueblo Matriarch that you are. You honor our ancestors,?stand side by side with your contemporaries, ensure the future by protecting our trans youth, and pave the way for future generations. Your legacy will continue. The work has just begun. Da’wah’eh. Ahéhee. Thank you, Secretary Haaland, for being a beacon of hope and a champion of change. #ThankYou #Trailblazer #DebHaaland #PuebloMatriarch #IndigenousLeadership #HistoryMaker
