Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance

Startup

The Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance (NAFSA) is dedicated to restoring the Indigenous food systems that support Indigenous self-determination, wellness, cultures, values, communities, economies, languages, families, and rebuild relationships with the land, water, plants and animals that sustain us.

Based on the recommendations of the 2022-2023 Food & Culinary (F&C) Grant Selection Committee, the following 24 Individuals and Organizations have received grants totaling $105,000.
