Deepening Greenpeace involvement in Native issues compounded its own commitment over time.

Evidence

Because Greenpeace, one of the largest environmental groups in the world, became involved at formative stages of IEN, high-level Greenpeace leadership attended early conferences and learned about environmental issues on Indian lands. Their raised consciousness, combined with pressure from Native Americans and Greenpeace staffers, helped push Greenpeace executives to commit resources to IEN and to Native American issues; dialectically, the more Greenpeace got involved, the deeper its understanding of and commitment to these issues became. — Luke W.
