As we approach the end of the year, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your continued support of the Native American Advancement Corporation and our mission to preserve and protect the Cohanzick Nature Reserve and our traditional way of life.
This was a pivotal year as we acquired the 63-acre Cohanzick Nature Reserve.

However, despite this achievement, we are now facing unforeseen challenges from the local Township that threaten our ability to open and offer our crucial programs to the public.

With a heavy heart, we share that the local officials do not recognize our faith as a religious conservation organization. This discrimination is hindering our efforts to make a positive impact on the community and protect the land we hold sacred.

As we enter the final day of 2023, we seek your support again this year. We have created a petition in Change.org that you can sign, or you can donate to help us overcome the obstacles imposed by the local Township and enable us to continue our vital work in preserving the natural beauty of the Cohanzick Nature Reserve.

Together, we can ensure that our programs, deeply rooted in our religious conservation principles, can be shared with the public, fostering understanding and appreciation for the environment.
​
Please consider signing our petition or making a tax-deductible donation before the year ends to support our cause. Your support and contribution will significantly impact our ability to navigate these challenges and continue our mission in the coming year.

Thank you for being a steadfast supporter of the Native American Advancement Corporation. We appreciate your commitment to our cause, and with your help, we can overcome these challenges and continue to make a positive impact in 2024.
We wish you a joyous and a Happy New Year.
​
Thank you to our volunteers whose voices you hear in this video: George and Adam Torres, Brian, Annalyse, Jordyn, Anastaysia, and Nataliya Cooper. "Thank you"! You guys are the best.
