Healing Through Harvesting

The mission of First Nations Development Institute is to strengthen American Indian economies to support healthy Native communities. We believe that when armed with appropriate resources, Native peoples hold the capacity and ingenuity to ensure the sustainable, economic, spiritual and cultural well-being of their communities.

In line with this commitment, First Nations supports Native communities in strengthening Native food systems, bolstering Native food economies, and advancing Native food sovereignty. This work will be increasingly important as Native communities respond to the long-term effects of COVID-19.
