Land Back is a political movement of returning land to Indigenous people whose land and sovereignty were stolen by settler colonialism. With land at its core, Land Back is also about reclaiming our peoplehood, medicines, ceremonies, languages & our futures. It is about fighting for a world in which we all live in right relationship with the environment and each other.

Land Back is a solution to the climate crisis. This stands in contrast to the false solutions that perpetuate the same systems of extractivism and human exploitation with a new “green mask.” We recognize the root causes of climate change are settler colonialism, white supremacy, and racial capitalism. When we achieve Land Back, we challenge these systems of oppression that dominate the global political economy and create the climate crisis.

Honor the Earth organizes at the roots, and we recognize Land Back as part of a collective liberation framework that welcomes all oppressed peoples on Turtle Island.
