Red Earth Descendants encourages our local community to come out and support Unete and all the amazing work they are doing for immigration reform in Southern Oregon. R.E.D. and Unete have joined hands in developing a non-profit brother~sister organization called "Natives of One Wind Indigenous Alliance (NOWIA).
In support of each other as Native groups from the North and South, we as R.E.D. want to lend our support and blessings for the outreach and education Unete offers our community. Please support Unete, become educated about immigration issues and reform!
