Little Eagle Arts Foundation

The First Americans’ Cultural Treasures project is built on the recognition of the cultural assets of Native communities that connect the past to the present and the future, and ultimately preserve Native knowledge systems, identities, and lifeways. The project is made possible through the Ford Foundation America’s Cultural Treasures Regional Challenge Initiative, in a funding partnership with Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies.
