Indigenous East is a network organization dedicated to supporting individual Indigenous communities and organizations engaged in land rematriation projects. We serve as a collaborative space where Indigenous land rematriators can connect, share resources, and receive support for their efforts in restoring ancestral lands.
In addition to our overview member map, and in alignment with our mission, we are developing a comprehensive map that includes layers highlighting land areas, Indigenous and Afrimerindian communities, key species, and potential climate corridors across the eastern United States (east of the Mississippi River). Created using ArcGIS, this map is integrated into a StoryMap that thoughtfully presents these elements, ensuring they honor Indigenous worldviews and uphold Indigenous sovereignty.
ArcGIS and StoryMap coming soon!

NDPonics, an indigenous-founded-and-led private non-profit foundation in Virginia, shares the same values as other indigenous people around the world - to protect and enhance the natural habitat we live in, which in turn ensured our survival for tens of thousands of years.
Indigenous East has provided coordination, grant writing, and strategic planning support to NDPonics as the organization seeks to construct an Indigenous fish passage/fish weir on a lake within a parcel of land that may be home to endangered brook trout.
Both of our organizations are partnering to utilize Mellon Foundation funds to support honoraria, materials, and meals for cultural lessons and community gatherings; preparation and Wilderness First Aid Training; capacity building for Landberry as a partner organization; Yesáh Language Convening/Multi-day language learning and immersion gathering and materials.
