“The Mother Earth provides us with
food, provides us with air, provides us
with water. We, the people, are going
to have to put our thoughts together,
our power together to save our planet
here. We’ve only got one air, one
water, one Mother Earth”

Uranium Forum, Acoma Sky City NM October 2009
Uranium Forum, Acoma Sky City NM October 2009
As part of our participation on the NCAI Tribal
Forestry Preservation Strategy committee, we are
announcing our new Green Harvest-Trade Project.
NWP has shown that many of the plants on tribal
lands that are considered "invasive" (non-native
species) have many useful purposes. Rather than
poison our land and water by using herbicides, we
could be harvesting out the non-native plants
creating Green jobs and cottage industries. From
biomass fuel to herbal remedies, there are many
options to consider.
The second part of this project is to support Tribal
land preservation laws prohibiting wildcrafting of
native plants and roots by non tribal members.

What are Green Careers?
"Green" careers refers to a wide variety of jobs
mostly in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
However, these type of careers also include
installing rainwater collection systems, straw bale
construction, low impact landscaping, fighting forest
fires, or working in environmental cleanup.
Many Blue or White collar careers can transition
into Green jobs with little change in the skill sets.
Some careers are on-the-job trainings followed by a
certification process. Others require 2-4 year
degrees or apprenticeship programs.

It's not just a job. When you are working a Green job
you are preserving our world. You are making a way
for your grandchildren. You are working with water,
fire, wind, sun, earth or thunder.
We want to make the connection between the old
ways and the new. So, if you are a sundancer you
can work with the sun, if you carry or pour water you
can have a job preserving it's cleanliness, if you
tend fire at lodge, maybe working on a hotshot crew
is the career for you...click on the source images
