Help us make Indigenous Peoples Day in Detroit a powerful step toward Land Back and sustain our ongoing community work!)
We did it! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we secured the tipi! This achievement is more than just a structure; it's a powerful, visible symbol of our growing movement and an important gathering place for our community.
Our Next Chapter: From Tipi to Tomorrow
Now, our focus turns to making sure the tipi is part of a strong, supported foundation for our ongoing work. Our immediate goal is to successfully host an impactful Indigenous Peoples Day event in Detroit this October—a day dedicated to education, support, and active allyship.
Indigenous Peoples Day: A Day of Action for Land Back
This isn't just a day off; it's a crucial day of public presence and community organizing that puts Land Back front and center in Detroit.
Your donation provides the essential general support needed to make this day happen:
• Logistics: Covering the costs to legally and safely host a large community event.
• Community Resources: Ensuring we have the supplies, equipment, and resources for our speakers, performers, and educational booths.
• Direct Support: Providing essential aid and resources to our local Indigenous community members participating in and leading the event.
This event is a cornerstone in our work to build political will and community support for returning ancestral land to Indigenous hands in Detroit.
The Vision: Sustaining the Land Back Movement
Your support extends far beyond one day. The funds we raise now are the vital general operating funds needed to ensure the longevity and impact of our work.
This includes supporting future community-led initiatives, maintaining the tipi as a ceremonial and gathering space, and continually advocating for Land Back in Detroit.
We are not just planning an event; we are building a movement for permanent, self-determined Indigenous presence in the city.
Join the Movement!
We are moving past recognition and into tangible action. Every dollar you contribute is an investment in a powerful Indigenous Peoples Day event and in the crucial legal, logistical, and advocacy work required to make Land Back possible.
Please donate today and share this campaign widely. Let's show Detroit what true allyship and solidarity look like.
• $50: Helps cover basic supplies for the Indigenous Peoples Day event.
• $100: Supports travel and/or accommodations for one of our community leaders or speakers.
• $250+: Funds essential advocacy and organizational costs for our Land Back efforts.
