PANDOS

Our Story

PANDOS is a Utah-based, Native and environmental rights organization that began in September 2016 in response to the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests at Standing Rock. The Standing Rock struggle has brought a spotlight to the interconnected issues of environmental racism and Native sovereignty that have long been ignored. These issues effect and unite Native and non-Native communities alike, all across America. We work with community leaders, tribal leaders and activists to raise visibility for Native American and environmental issues through dialogue, education, mass mobilization, and direct action.
​
PANDOS welcomes people of all colors and creeds to join together in solidarity to promote healing dialogue and protect our shared home. We seek to educate the public and influence decision-makers to create policy that addresses the impacts of systemic racism and environmental injustice. We are an all volunteer organization - join us today!

Our Mission Statement: “PANDOS peacefully advocates for basic human and environmental rights, primarily Native and Indigenous rights. By organizing support and education, we encourage dialogue and the protection of our shared home​”. We are a diverse group of both native and non-native people who are passionate about working together to ensure this mission.
