At the L.I.G.H.T. Foundation (LF), we believe that sharing Our Voices in advocacy for all our Spirit Relatives* who have none is a sacred duty. It allows us to protect our ancestral lands, advocate for our rights, and preserve our environmental heritage and cultural ecologies. These actions are essential for ensuring our voices are heard and our traditions are passed down to future generations. See the LF webpage Our Voices for an overview of how we exercise our free speech rights to advocate on behalf of all our Spirit Relatives.

Please fill out this form to the best of your ability, and a LF team member will follow-up with you. We ask that Media & Speaking Requests are made at least 4 (four) weeks from the date of submitting this form, when possible.
