Food and Nutrition Policy in Indian Country  

April 4, 2024 3:00 pm Eastern 

Cosponsored with Native Americans in Philanthropy 

T

There is a rapidly growing movement across Native American communities working to improve access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food and support food sovereignty. From policy to practice, philanthropy can play a vital role in partnering with Tribal communities and organizations to create food systems that lead to a brighter future through better health, economic growth, and reconnection to traditional foodways. Participants learned about the federal and state policy landscape at that time, opportunities and challenges facing advocates, and community-based strategies that were making a difference in communities across Indian Country. Speakers included Marian Bitsui of Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance and Whitney Sawney of Native American Agriculture Fund.
