Hemp and Humanity

The Longhouse Project

We're using hemp to advance sustainable agricutlural practices and train Indigenous and BPOC women to participate in the hemp industry. This creates climate resilience, while addressing social, politcal and economic equity in the industry.

"Native American reconciliation with the United States, ecological restoration of our broken ecosystems, and real social justice are inseparable. Modern society is disconnected from other life on the planet and is built on a human first (church based) narrative that replaced thousands of years of native wisdom. As our fragile ecosystems collapse around us, Native philosophies have the potential to share a new type of thinking that is needed by modern society to understand and respect nature and other life forms. To do this Indigenous people must be given the opportunity to come back to the landscapes and regions across North America and share wisdom, history, and vision for a better future. Without this our collective approach to addressing social justice and the climate crisis will be flawed and ineffective. Founded by Alicia Fall (Eastern Band Tsalagi/Cuban Taino), Her Many Voices is an Indigenous led, holacracy managed nonprofit, providing education and resources concerning issues around women, children and Mother Earth, since 2009. Our idea, for this project, is to promote the development of green businesses and jobs for Indigenous women by acquiring land on which we will create Hemp Education Cultural Center Longhouses - New York being the first of its kind. We're using hemp to advance sustainable agricultural practices and train Indigenous and BPOC women to participate in the hemp industry. We do this to create climate resilience, while addressing social, political, and economic equity in the industry."
