We are challenging everyone in the Burning Man ecosystem to find a way to Give Back to the Indigenous people of the Great Basin.
A Challenge for All Burners to Give Back
A new coalition of volunteers is challenging Burners to find a way to Give Back to the Indigenous people of Nevada, and forming a new Burners Without Borders project group called “The Great Give Back” (GGB). This new working committee formed recently out of a coalition of theme camps and individuals with support from BWB, and is seeking volunteers at all levels to join their efforts to coordinate resources, money and time to address a variety of community needs at Pyramid Lake and other Nevada reservations.
Now recruiting team leaders for projects in: Native Elder House Repairs, Land Restoration, Education & Teaching, Computer Technology, Fundraising, and a Buy Native Campaign.
The central coordinating committee meets on Wednesdays (zoom) during the pre-Launch team building phase, preparing to make a wider announcement about the Great Give Back Challenge. Get the zoom link on HIVE: https://hive.burningman.org/groups/5249725/events

Here are current volunteer opportunities:
We Burners, as a community, have the opportunity to apply the vast talents we bring to that thing in the desert towards areas that can make positive impacts on the local Paiute community. These are projects generated by members of the community, who are asking for Burners to give back.
In this case, it’s time to “Leave An Intentional Trace.”
