“Running Wolf Medicine”
With our 1% for the Planet commitment, we’ve pledged to invest our resources and revenue back into our planet and people. As part of this promise, we’re committing the monetary contribution of those donations strictly to Indigenous-led organizations focused on Land Back programs. 

Although they comprise less than 5% of the world population, Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the Earth's biodiversity in the forests, deserts, grasslands, and marine environments in which they have lived for centuries. We also recognize that we can’t combat climate change without justice for Indigenous people, and that returning Land Back to the people that have always cared for it is a non-negotiable action that we all must be a part of; the medicine that our planet and people need.

🎨 To inspire and remind us of this step that we’ve taken, we commissioned this art from JohnIsaiahPepion (Blackfeet/Piikani), a graphic artist from the Piikani Band of the Blackfoot Confederacy. He is based out of the Blackfeet reservation in north-central Montana, where the Rocky Mountains meet the plains. John is best known for his ledger art, an art tradition that developed in Plains tribes as the buffalo hide they traditionally used for painting became scarce, and they were forced to adapt to making artwork on the ledger paper from accounting books. He comes from a family of artists, and ledger art has been in his family for hundreds of years.

Get to know his work, and see our comments below to learn about the two great organizations that we’re committed to.
