Look what you did!!! We’re at $31,767 of our $40,000 goal! That’s 108 people who said yes.

Thank you. We mean that.

If we reach the goal by Christmas, Edith wins! Remember she believed you all would reach the goal by then? WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!! Some groups are already scheduled—Indigenous youth, work crews, school visits—and they will have a place to sleep. Edith and your generosity made a believer out of me. We have only $8,233. Remaining, with 8 days to get there. Please give what you can today. With your help, we’re gonna make it!

That’s the whole picture. You know what this place is and what we do. See the photo’s below of the two colors of yurts we will order. The blush, (pink?) is the ladies yurt.

If you’ve already given, you’re part of what’s rising here. If you’ve been meaning to, this is the time!

I’m writing to you from our teaching farm on a gray November afternoon, watching the solar panels finally go up on our education building. It’s been a long road to get here—one that required $7,500 in legal fees and the patience of Job to navigate county restrictions that seemed designed more to obstruct than to protect. But here we are, panels rising against the Oregon sky, another small victory in our ongoing work of earth justice.

Which brings me to why I’m writing today.
The same county that fought our solar permit has now informed us that no one can sleep in the Ag Building and Learning Center. Not the school groups who come to learn seed saving. Not the work crews who help us with controlled burns to restore our oak savannah. Not the young people who show up hungry to reconnect with the land and their Indigenous heritage.
For years, we’ve welcomed folks in our yurt and tipis—and we still do. But those few structures can’t hold the groups that need what we offer here at Eloheh. We need to expand our capacity, and we’re asking you to help us do it.

We’re raising $40,000 by Christmas to purchase two additional yurts that will allow us to continue hosting the work groups and schools who are essential to this mission of earth healing and cultural reclamation.

We’ve raised $4,640 or 12% toward our $40,000 goal. That’s 31 generous people who’ve said yes to this work. We’re grateful. 

Here’s where it gets tight: Pacific Yurts needs a $19,000 deposit by December 30th. The build can’t be scheduled until after the deposit, and that’s usually three to four weeks out. Our college work groups start showing up in March and they are invaluable to Eloheh’s progress. So we’ve got just under a month to raise the difference. We need roughly $14,360 more to hit that $19,000 deposit by December 30th. We’re going to need to put the pedal to the metal on this one. Help us reach our goal this giving Tuesday!

TODAY on October 13, 2025, , we are asking you to honor the original inhabitants of Turtle Island by supporting the ongoing cost and day-to-day work here at Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice. 
 
If you’ve been following our work for a while, you know that what we do is a vital piece of working for a better world for all of us. We are rewilding parts of our land here at Eloheh, while developing and practicing sustainable farming practices as a model for the future of farming. In addition to this work, we host around a half a dozen schools a year where church groups and other organizations come to learn how to decolonize their minds and their lives and live in sustainable harmony with all of creation. 
 
With your help, we have built a brand new learning center, and are looking forward to expanding the work we do with the schools into conferences hosted right here at Eloheh. 
 
We need your help right now though, specifically with donations towards our ongoing operations expenses. 
 
Can we count on you for a gift today?

“In the same way that there is a relationship between Native American views of the past and the present, there is a relationship between the present and the future. One teaching among many tribes is that what we do today will affect the next seven generations. This seven-generations thinking is a widely held warning among Native Americans when considering the relationship between our present decisions and the lives of those in the future. The future is important, but it can only be lived well by regarding our past.

Look forward by looking back.“ —Randy and Edith Woodley

Indigenous Futurism asks what the future would look like if Indigenous values were scaled up rather than just looking at the Western systems breaking down?

“We are all human. And all humans are capable of cruel and violent acts when we allow ourselves to diminish the humanity of the other. But we are all also, capable of healing and becoming healers. Yes, justice is required, but not vengeance. And all justice must be equal justice, or it is not justice at all.” -Randy Woodley
