===Honor the Earth, 1993-2023===
LaDuke was also the executive director of [[Honor the Earth]], an organization she co-founded with the non-Native folk-rock duo the [[Indigo Girls]] in 1993. Honor the Earth is a national advocacy group encouraging public support and funding for Native environmental groups. It works nationally and internationally on issues of [[climate change]], [[renewable energy]], [[sustainable development]], food systems and [[environmental justice]]. Members of Honor the Earth were active in the [[Dakota Access Pipeline protests]].<ref name=NoDAPL/> As of 2016, the organization's mission was:

<blockquote>to create awareness and support for Native environmental issues and to develop needed financial and political resources for the survival of sustainable Native communities. Honor the Earth develops these resources by using music, the arts, the media, and Indigenous wisdom to ask people to recognize our joint dependency on the Earth and be a voice for those not heard.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.honorearth.org/about |title=About Us |work=Honor The Earth |access-date=2017-04-15 |archive-date=April 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170416125314/http://www.honorearth.org/about |url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>
