We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
The Indigenous Peoples Power Project (IP3) is a non-profit 501c3, nonviolent direct action training and support network advancing Indigenous communities ability to exercise their inherent right to environmental justice, cultural livelihood, and self determination. Formed in 2004 as a project of the Ruckus Society, IP3 graduated from NDN Collective’s fiscal sponsorship cohort and became a non-profit in June 2020. We continue to work across Turtle Island with communities that are most vulnerable to threats of ecological devastation and resource exploitation, and most poised to lead solution-oriented action.
Our mission is to provide nonviolent direct action training, campaign support, and community organizing tools to support Indigenous communities taking action in defense of their homelands.

We Are Indigenous
And Mother Earth Is What Guides Us Forward
Our Top Priorities
We value the knowledge and experience that exists in Indigenous communities since time immemorial. As such, we don’t believe in parachute activism (when an individual or organization pops into a community). Parachute activisim can be harmful and dismissive of the knowledge and leadership that exists within that community. While it can be well intentioned , it often is a band aid that can be helpful in the short term, but in the long term may not build the capacity needed to address underlying issues. IP3 only goes where we are invited or our support is requested, and we work with local leadership to collectively determine how we can add value to, strengthen, and build capacity in their current work.
IP3 works to uplift our relatives protecting and defending our land, air, water, culture and sovereignty across Turtle Island. These are a just handful of ongoing challenges that Indigenous communities face here and internationally.
Environmental & Social Justice
For Indigenous communities, environmental and social justice are inherently connected. Our communities are among the first impacted by extractive industries, oil pipelines, mining, data centers, resource extraction, and are the most poised to lead solution oriented action.
Traditional Ecological Knowledge
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (ITK) is the knowledge and practices passed from generation to generation informed by cultural memories, connection to land, sensitivity to change, and values that include reciprocity with the understanding that Mother Earth is a living being.
