First Nations Development Institute recognizes that accessing healthy food is a challenge for many Native American children and families. And without access to healthy food, a nutritious diet and good health are out of reach.
Because of this important need, through our Nourishing Native Foods & Health program, we provide financial support and technical assistance to tribes and Native nonprofit organizations so that they can build sustainable food systems that improve health, strengthen food security, and increase control over Native agriculture and food systems.
This brochure highlights the approach behind this important program as well as two First Nations community partners and their grassroots Native food systems efforts.
