April 22, 2026 – Earth Day! Let’s step back and remember, every day is earth day for the Haudenosaunee minded people! It is great to see society acknowledging the earth on April 22, but please remember humans take from the earth every single day of the year. We encourage you to be stewards of the land, give back to the earth just as much as you take all year round. Pick up your trash and litter every day, be good neighbors to all the living creatures by protecting their habitat. Last, only take what you need. Today, we encourage you to think broader instead of singular on this earth day. Let’s make Earth Day every day!
