Honor Native Land Fund
Honor Native Land Fund (HNLF) is a movement of non-Native people working to heal land and relationships in the Eastern Tallgrass Prairie region through materially contributing to land return. HNLF participants acknowledge that rematriation—the restoration of sacred relationships between Indigenous people and land—is a necessary part of the racial and ecological healing our society needs.
Whether you live here or your family roots are found within these lands, we encourage you to contribute to HNLF as an act of repair and healing.
Land Return Heals Us All.
Our Partners
HNLF partners with the Great Plains Action Society (Iowa City, IA) and NiskÃthe Prayer Camp (Lincoln, Nebraska)—both Indigenous-led, grassroots, intertribal and multiracial projects focused on cultural and communal healing through land rematriation.
Decolonial Repair Network
DRN is a community of people connected to HNLF who recognize that colonization has harmed us all —both Native and non-Native alike—and who are actively working to restore relationships with Indigenous communities, the land, ourselves, and each other.
Colonization and Climate
Due to colonization, over 98% of private agricultural land in the U.S. is owned by white people, and this land is in desperate need of healing.
Indigenous people make up only 5% of the
world’s population, yet
steward 80% of the
world’s biodiversity
Less than 1% of the Tallgrass Prairie, once lovingly and expertly stewarded by Indigenous people, remains. Colonial agricultural practices that erode topsoil, release carbon, and poison our water systems have played a major role in our current climate crisis.
Land Return is healing for us all!
