The non-profit Turtle Island Project based in Munising, Michigan was founded in the summer of 2007 to promote respect for the environment and Inidgenous Peoples.
The Turtle Island Project (TIP) provides an outlet for unedited messages from Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples.

The TIP holds fundraisers including free concerts to assist the White Buffalo Calf Woman Society - the oldest domestic violence shelter for women of color in the world - is located on the Lakota Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

The TIP also has friendships with the Iona Community in Scotland and the the Read the Spirit campaign near Detroit, Michigan.

The TIP was founded by Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard of Munising, Michigan and Rev. Dr. George Cairns of Chesterton, Indiana.

The federal government took Walter Littlemoon from his home at the Wounded Knee Reservation in South Dakota when he was 5. When his mother visited him at the Oglala Community High School, one of dozens of federal boarding schools established to assimilate Native Americans, several years later, he didn't recognize her.
