Honor the Earth is a non-profit organization founded to raise awareness and financial support for Indigenous environmental justice.[1] The organization was founded by Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers after meeting Winona LaDuke, and after consultation with members of the Indigenous Environmental Network, Indigenous Women's Network and Seventh Generation Fund. Since 2016, Winona LaDuke and other members of Honor the Earth have been active in the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.[2]
On March 30, 2023, Honor the Earth was ordered to pay, by the Becker County, Minnesota District Court, a former contract employee $750,000 in damages in a lawsuit stemming from an accusation of sexual harassment in 2015.[3]
