7 Directions of Service was founded by Indigenous activists Crystal Cavalier-Keck and Jason Crazy Bear Keck on Crystal’s ancestral Occaneechi-Saponi lands, the rural Piedmont region of North Carolina. 7 Directions of Service focuses on protecting traditional pre-US treaty areas (NC/VA/SC), educating Indigenous community members, tribes, surrounding communities, and youth on current environmental issues, developing the next generation of leaders in the environmental movement, promoting activism within our tribes and Indigenous communities, and empowering Indigenous community members to effect change.
