Records of Honor Our Neighbors Origins and Rights, an independent Midwest-based advocacy group for Native American rights.

Gift of Honor Our Neighbors Origins and Rights, 2007. Processed by Mark G. Thiel and microfilmed by 蜜桃影像, 2007.

Historical Note

HONOR began in 1988 out of a desire by non-Indian church leaders and others to support Ojibwa Indian treaty rights in Wisconsin. Following incorporation in 1990, HONOR expanded its advocacy to encompass the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, Native American mascot issue, problems regarding sovereignty, religious freedom, Indian gaming, the protection of burial/sacred sites, and other treaty rights and social justice issues. HONOR also helped to place dozens of interns into programs that furthered Native American issues. It published HONOR Digest, a newsletter, and several pamphlets and established an advocacy clearinghouse to distribute related educational resources, which continued following the organization's disbanding in 2006. Unlike other advocacy groups, when HONOR disbanded in 2006 it left a positive balance in the bank, an incredible record of accomplishments, a stellar reputation, and a continuing education project called the Honor Resource Center.
