NORTH AMERICAN TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS FOOD SYSTEMS

Donate

NATIFS works to cultivate the seeds of Indigenous heritage, nourish our people, and honor the land that sustains us. 

With your support, we can strengthen the well-being of Native communities through access to Indigenous foods, cultural reconnection to traditional food practices, and economic opportunity for Native food producers, chefs, and entrepreneurs. 

Your contribution has an important impact. 

NATIFS is redefining Indigenous culinary traditions and working to restore knowledge lost due to forced assimilation. Colonialism disrupted Indigenous food systems, replacing traditional foods with highly processed, Western alternatives. The effects have been profound, impacting our communities’ health and well-being. 

Here’s how your donation helps: 

  • $25: Support the creation of Indigenous cooking videos 
  • $50: Create recipes featuring Indigenous ingredients to serve in schools 
  • $100: Distribute Indigenous meal kits for families to cook and eat together 
  • $250: Uplift Indigenous entrepreneurs by supporting business plan creation 

Donate now to support Indigenous food sovereignty. 

NATIFS is more than a culinary venture; it is a catalyst for change. Every dollar you give is a step toward improving health and generating wealth in Native communities through food-related enterprises.
