2026 Native Food Sovereignty Grant

Native Food Sovereignty projects support the inherent right of tribal communities to exercise self-determination and self-governance in all aspects of their food systems. American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians have the right to produce their own traditional foods on their own lands to sustain themselves, their families, and their communities. Tribes and community organizers have the authority to shape and influence the conditions that strengthen the control of the Native food system. These projects establish and safeguard Native food traditions while carrying forward the stories, identities, relationships, and responsibilities that Native cultures live by.
