What We Do
First Peoples works stopping and reversing injustices by equipping Indigenous Peoples with resources to challenge government, corporation and conservation policies. At the same time, First Peoples is building capacity in Indigenous communities to play an active role in conservation.
The Indigenous Stewardship Initiative, First Peoples Worldwides first major strategic initiative, presents a unique alternative to traditional bio-conservation practices by shifting the responsibility for the design and management of an Indigenous territory to local Indigenous Peoples as stewards of their lands.
In addition to working directly with Indigenous Peoples, First Peoples Worldwide also advocates for policy changes within U.S. and foreign governments and global agencies. It also promotes social responsibility to corporations and businesses involved in resource and extractive industries. It provides a training program that will assist corporations in developing positive relations with Indigenous Peoples.
Indigenous Peoples are on the front-lines of the battle for the future. By networking and sharing common experiences, First Peoples Worldwide believes that Indigenous Peoples can learn from each other in order to secure their future.
