About Native Lands Advocacy Project

The Native Land Information System serves as a repository of learning resources, information, and data to help defend and protect Native lands for the benefit of Native peoples. Through our work, we aim to challenge the status quo of historical data colonialism in the United States.

The NLIS was developed by the Native Lands Advocacy Project (NLAP), a project of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Village Earth.
