This #WorldIntellectualPropertyDay , we recognize the leadership of Native peoples who advocate for stronger protections for IP.

We must ensure Native peoples have a say in the development of international IP laws so Tribes can preserve their culture from appropriation & misuse.

Earlier this month, the Denver Post reported that Lingít tribal members have been requesting cultural items back from the Denver Art Museum in Colorado for years — to no avail. alaskapublic.org/2024/04/22/not…

Celebrate #NationalPoetryMonth with poet Lakeisha Marie’s (Plains Cree) piece, “Kanaweyihtamwak Askiy” (they are taking care of the land), a poem that emphasizes the importance of safeguarding our air, water, and land. #ClimateJustice

Every single day is #EarthDay Mahsi’choo Yo-Yo Ma for helping us uplift the spirit of the salmon & birch through music. The work you do through Our Common Nature is needed & we welcome you back to Alaska anytime! Native Movement FCAC

Today we share poetry by @KahulaWrites, who harnesses words and voice to enact meaningful change. Kahula's piece calls upon Indigenous people to lead in climate justice, safeguarding the environment needed for survival.
