MISSION
Nia Tero works in solidarity with Indigenous peoples who sustain thriving territories and cultures to strengthen guardianship of Earth and all beings.

WHO WE ARE
We are a US-based nonprofit working in solidarity with Indigenous peoples and movements worldwide. We have an inclusive culture guided by Indigenous wisdom, practices, and protocols. Our governing bodies, leadership, and staff are built upon diverse, non-Indigenous and Indigenous identities and life experiences. As a bridging organization, we view this diversity as a source of our strength.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Indigenous peoples uphold many of the planet's healthiest ecosystems, rich in biodiversity, and systems essential to the security of global food production, fresh water, and ultimately, the Earth's climate. We believe that the peoples who call these places home are the best guardians of their cultures’ vital birthplaces, and that supporting the rights and livelihoods of Indigenous peoples, and following their leadership, is critical to the health of our planet as a whole.

OUR VISION
Our vision is of an Earth where Indigenous guardianship of thriving homelands and waters is ENABLED everywhere possible

OUR ASPIRATIONS
To contribute to this, over the next decade we will UPHOLD a network of place-anchored partnerships with Indigenous peoples that demonstrate the power of Indigenous guardianship to sustain a vibrant Earth. Building upon and working alongside this network, we will also support efforts to EXPAND recognition and support for Indigenous guardianship globally.
