Indigenous Environmental Network
· “Established in 1990 within the United States, IEN was formed by grassroots Indigenous peoples and
individuals to address environmental and economic justice issues (EJ). IEN’s activities include building
the capacity of Indigenous communities and tribal governments to develop mechanisms to protect our
sacred sites, land, water, air, natural resources, health of both our people and all living things, and to
build economically sustainable communities.IEN accomplishes this by maintaining an informational
clearinghouse, organizing campaigns, direct actions and public awareness, building the capacity of
community and tribes to address EJ issues, development of initiatives to impact policy, and building
alliances among Indigenous communities, tribes, inter-tribal and Indigenous organizations, people-of-
color/ethnic organizations, faith-based and women groups, youth, labor, environmental organizations
and others. IEN convenes local, regional and national meetings on environmental and economic justice
issues, and provides support, resources and referral to Indigenous communities and youth throughout
primarily North America – and in recent years – globally.”
