Everything sacred is on the ballot. Everyone has something to show up for over the next two weeks for elections! 🗳️🗓️

Native Organizers Alliance has partnered with several beloved artists across Indian Country in our mission to amplify the power of Tribes, organizations, and communities.

This beautiful piece by Mer Metztli Cītlali Cihuatlahtoāni wraps up this year’s artist series, and the work continues to the ballot box and beyond.

“The heart of our work is to engage with our communities to train change-makers as we resist injustices, reclaim our human rights and rights of the natural world, and rebuild systems of governance. It is our shared responsibility to live to be good relatives to each other today and good Ancestors for all generations to come.”
— Judith LeBlanc, Executive Director

Kumeyaay people have been displaced from Coronado for a long time, but there are still many connections that still exist today. Today, on Indigenous People's Day, we honor and celebrate the cultural revitalization and enduring relationship between the Kumeyaay and Coronado.

What are your thoughts on this proposal?⛰️

The Pechanga Band of Indians presented its case for a proposed land transfer during a U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs hearing on September 23, 2026.

Chairman Mark Macarro testified in support of S. 4053, which would place approximately 860 acres of federally managed land in Riverside County, California, into trust for the Tribe.

The land sits beside the existing Pechanga Reservation near Temecula. Under the bill, it would remain open space, with uses focused on protecting archaeological, cultural and wildlife resources. Existing water rights and service agreements would remain unchanged.

The proposal brings land stewardship and cultural preservation together, while keeping the area’s open-space character. The transfer would require the legislation to become law.
