Indigenous Environmental Network Silent Auction Fundraiser Items Requested

Dear IEN friends and supporters:

The Indigenous Environmental Network is planning our first ever online silent auction!

We are respectfully asking our friends and supporters to donate items for our upcoming silent auction fundraiser. This grassroots fundraiser will allow us to become less dependent on foundation dollars as well as provide the opportunity for a fun and creative way to let people know about IEN and the work we do with Indigenous communities around Environmental Justice!

With the holiday season right around the corner our silent auction will allow bidders to support IEN as well as get wonderful and unique gifts for loved ones.

Please consider a donation for our auction. If you would like to donate an item, please contact our office at 218-751-4967 and ask for Simone or send an email to simone@ienearth.org.

We will post the aution here on our site and in our newsletters.

Thank you for your kind attention and support!

Sincerely,
Tom Goldtooth
Executive Director, Indigenous Environmental Network


Welcome to the new IEN Website!


This is your source for Indigenous Environmental and Social Justice Issues ... We will post current news, action items and calls for support. Please use our Archive section for learning more about historical efforts by government and corporations to exploit the resources of Indigenous people worldwide, IEN position papers, articles, press releases and more. Our concentration is on North American Native communities, however, our partnerships extend to all of Mother Earth!

We are currently redesigning our site to offer a reliable information resource for action and issues relating to Indigenous Communities working toward the preservation and restoration of cultural, enviromental and human heath resources. Periodic updates to our site will be announced through our online newsletter. If you are not already receiving these - Please signup by clicking the newsletter links located on the lower left side of this page.

Our current project and initiative information pages will now be viewed in the new design and include current events in the form of documents, video, audio, and contact information. During the redesign process we will link to older pages that contain legacy information and document archives. Please be patient as we go through this process. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions or inquiry regarding our work!
