Over the past decade, we have raised more than $2 million in donations and hosted retreats to support Yorenka Tasorentsi’s work. One of the most transformative achievements was the re-matriation of 1,500 hectares of land, purchased for $500,000. Today, this land is home to thriving reforestation projects, retreat infrastructure, and a vibrant community practicing food sovereignty and cultural continuity.

Founded by Diné leader Patrick Scott, the Patrick Scott Foundation is rebuilding the Tsenit’eel (White Mesa) Community Center to restore hope, unity, and opportunity in a region long impacted by the Bennett Freeze, a U.S. federal policy enacted in 1966 that prohibited development across 1.5 million acres of Navajo land for over forty years.

The Wixarika, also known as the Huichol people, are an Indigenous community primarily based in the Sierra Madre Occidental region of Mexico. They are the traditional guardians of numerous sacred sites, with the most significant being the Wirikuta desert in San Luis Potosí.
