O’ga P’ogeh Land Tax
What is the O’ga P’ogeh Land Tax?
Welcome to the O’ga P’ogeh Land Tax (OPLT)! You have found yourself here because you want to move beyond hollow land acknowledgments and are ready to take actionable steps toward supporting Indigenous people in your community.
We are a grassroots elective land tax project in O’ga P’ogeh (Santa Fe), NM that returns wealth to Indigenous communities in their homelands. Also known as a voluntary land tax, honor tax, or ‘real rent,’ paying this land tax recognizes your access to stolen land and stolen wealth in a tangible and vital way.
When you pay into the OPLT, you are directly funding local Indigenous groups, ensuring that community-based initiatives, mutual aid efforts, and wellness projects in O’ga P’ogeh Owingeh can thrive.
