Join us in celebrating International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.

We can’t possibly represent the immeasurable value and diversity of all Indigenous Peoples worldwide in one day, or one post. Indigenous people, culture, and wisdom so have much to offer the world. That’s why we think all should celebrate and elevate indigenous ways of life and indigenous peoples.

And there is no climate or environmental progress without environmental justice. We will never solve these issues without all people, especially the wisdom and spirit of indigenous peoples who have suffered great injustice and historically been left out of environmental movements and achievements, but are now leading the charge in so many ways.

They are Executive Director of On The Land Media and a commercial fisherman on the F/V Cozy Ray.

Tafoya is the founder of Headwaters Protectors and his indigenous ancestors are Jicarilla Apache and Ohkay Owingeh from Southern Colorado and New Mexico. Tafoya is a person of many talents and accomplishments including running for Mayor in Denver in 2023. .
