Everything that we do is ultimately focused on ReMatriaiton, land stewardship, and healing justice for Indigenous Peoples across Iowa and Eastern Nebraska with a focus in Sioux City. Our goals are to build an Urban Indigenous Resilience and Innovation Hub in Sioux City and Omaha, start a Land Stewardship Learning Farm outside of Omaha and create a cutting-edge land trust based on Indigenous ideologies about land. This has been years in the making because land is very hard to acquire due to the fact that it is the ultimate power. Its value goes beyond how much an acre costs, because it is actually priceless.  Learn more about why it is so important to empower Indigenous land stewardship in Iowa in our zine called.

To learn more about our thoughts on ReMatriaiton, read Sikowis Nobiss' article called, "Why “ReMatriate” is a more inclusive term for returning land to Indigenous peoples" In the article, Sikowis states that ReMatriation, "is a call to reestablish Indigenous landscapes, bring back Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge and to give stolen power back to the feminine. In a world where unfettered patriarchal violence and greed has brought us to the precipice of a climate extinction, ReMatriation is the return of the matriarchy. This counterbalances the forces of toxic masculinity that, through colonial-capitalist violence, are intent on holding all power and controlling all the life, land and resources on our Mother Earth.

​

We are honored to work with Iowa State University, the Emerald Cities Collaborative, Save Our Future Foundation, the Honor Native Land Fund--all of whom are actively helping us achieve our ReMatration goals. We are also thankful to many other foundations, small donors and anonymous donors that see the value in what we are doing and supporting the act of ReMatriation.
