Initiatives

Six lines of work, one purpose: ancestral land back in Indigenous hands and cared for the way it has always been cared for. Repatriation and conservation of the ground itself, agriculture and healthcare built on food as medicine, and the culture, history, and economic footing that let Native families stay.

Land Repatriation

Conservation

  • Objective

    As stewards for the land, we are responsible for caring, preserving, and protecting the land; using it responsibly for seven future generations.

  • Status

    We provide training to underserved farmers and ranchers on natural resource conservation.

Agriculture

Healthcare

  • Objective

    We aim to improve the health of the indigenous and other underserved populations through culturally appropriate methods. Food is our medicine.

  • Status

    We have supported local Indigenous communities during the Covid-19 pandemic through vaccine outreach and awareness, PPE and test kit distribution, and food delivery to families that were economically impacted. Native Americans have the highest Covid-related mortality rates of any race in the United States.

Culture & History

  • Objective

    We strive to preserve and perpetuate Native American culture.

  • Status

    We have worked with artists, Kyle Couture and Marcus Cusick on “The Heirs of the Land” mural at the New Bedford Seaport. We intend to use repatriated lands to create a tribal gathering space for powwows and other traditions.
