INDIGINOUS INGREDIENT INSPIRED
OUR VISION IS TO REKINDLE AND EMPOWER INDIGENOUS FOOD SOVEREIGNTY
OUR VISION IS TO REKINDLE AND EMPOWER INDIGENOUS FOOD SOVEREIGNTY
NATIFS works to cultivate the seeds of Indigenous heritage, nourish our people, and honor the land that sustains us.
Over the past two decades there has been an increasing focus on Native foods. Chef Sean Sherman has been at the forefront of this movement - addressing economic and health crises affecting Native communities by re-establishing Native foodways.
The impact of this work led to a growing call from across the country for assistance with tribal food sovereignty projects.
In response, North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NATIFS) was born with a goal to generate wealth and improve health in Native communities through food-related enterprises.
