About  [Edit]



The Cultural Conservancy is a Native American nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of indigenous cultures and their ancestral lands. We are a research, education, and advocacy organization. We provide mediation, legal, information referral, and audio recording services. We also produce educational programs and materials and technical trainings on Native land conservation and land rights, cultural and ecological restoration, and traditional indigenous arts and spiritual values.

Our Values:

* Acknowledgement of the sacred relationship of Native peoples to the land.
* Acknowledgement of the essential role of Native peoples in preserving environmental integrity and biological diversity.
* Recognition of and support for the link between cultural and biological diversity.
* Support for the principle of Native self-determination.


To this end, The Cultural Conservancy develops programs for education and advocacy that: Strengthen the skills of Native peoples in land management and conservation. Restore to the greatest extent possible ownership of traditional land to its original caretakers. Support stewardship of Native people on their land base by establishment of property rights, cultural easements, and Native land trusts which protect the habitat and traditional land-based activities of Native peoples.
