The Board of Directors and staff of Partnership With Native Americans are writing to express our support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in its efforts to protect water and sacred sites.

We at PWNA honor the self-determination and sovereignty of Native American tribes throughout the U.S. We respect and support the need for each tribe to have a voice in the decisions that impact their land, their natural resources, their sacred sites and their people.

For many years, PWNA has collaborated with programs on the Standing Rock Reservation to improve quality of life for Native Americans by serving immediate needs and supporting long-term solutions. We are continuing to serve these programs and look forward to sustaining these partnerships and cultivating new partners in the years to come.

Respectfully,

Kevin Diepholz
Interim Board Chairman
