Indigenous Environmental Network

The Indigenous Environmental Network is an Indigenous-based, non-profit, and non-governmental organization working on environmental protection, environmental health, climate change, conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, protection of sacred areas, food sovereignty and promoting sustainable development within Indigenous territories.

Established in 1990, IEN was formed by community-based American Indian, Alaska Natives and First Nations of Canada, including youth, women, elders and traditional indigenous societies, to address environmental and economic justice issues in North America.
