To President Biden and Vice President Harris,
The Securing Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in the Green Economy (SIRGE) Coalition stands with the Apache Stronghold in demanding that Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) – Indigenous Peoples’ right to give or withhold consent on projects that impact or potentially impact them – is honored. FPIC flows from Indigenous self-determination as articulated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and should be honored as such.
At different times throughout the year, we feel the effects of universal changes and shifts in more ways than we realize. Those shifts occur during the winter solstice, spring equinox, summer solstice, and the autumn equinox. For thousands of years, Indigenous Peoples around the world have understood and acknowledged their interconnection with the universe, from how traditions are practiced to the effects the seasonal shifts have on us.

Amidst the strength and power of the Columbia and Spokane Rivers in the ancestral territories of the Spokane Tribe, there is a group of language warriors with the dream of keeping their languages alive. They run the Language House of Spokane using an immersion strategy to increase the number of fluent adult speakers.
