< Back Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs The Tribal Farm is working to establish irrigation systems and plant a base crop of grain hay, alfalfa hay and orchard grass hay for the tribal members’ livestock needs, as well as the commercial agriculture industry. After this base crop rotation plan has been established the farm will continue expanding its portfolio into the specialty crop market of vegetable seed, flower seed, grass seed, legume seed, and grain seed crop opportunities. With the lower elevation and microclimate associated with Moody Farm and Culpus Farm, the Tribal Farm will have an advantage over other farm ground in Central Oregon. The crop possibilities are endless for years to come on tribal farm ground. The Tribal Farm has identified several objectives for the business: Use of water rights on tribal lands.Re-engage farming to generate revenue and begin rebuilding a sustainable industry on the reservation.Provide tribal member employment opportunities.Provide a pathway for tribal members to develop agricultural aptitudes and skills through educational tours and internships. The mission of the Department of Range and Agriculture is to provide services and technical assistance to the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation and its membership for the protection and enhancement of agricultural and range lands to ensure that these resources are properly managed for the use of present and future generations.

< Back Spokane Tribal Fish Hatchery Returning salmon and residential fish populations sustained the Spokane Indian Tribe from time immemorial to 1939, the year Grand Coulee Dam flooded the ancestral lands of the Tribe and blocked salmon migrating up the Columbia River to the Tribe's usual and accustomed fishing grounds. Land, fish, and a way of life, defined by the rich natural resources of the river were taken away by the development of the Federal Columbia River Power System. After the construction of the dam, natural resident fish populations were unable to sustain meaningful harvest opportunities primarily owing to the destruction of habitat and continual disruption in completing their life cycle resulting from dam operations.

I am the owner and Principal Ecologist-Indigenous Agriculturalist of Sakari Farms. I am an enrolled member and shareholder of the Chugach Alaska Native Corporation and Valdez Native Tribe. My Inupiaq lineage allows a unique/diverse cultural perspective of the use of historical food systems ranging from Alaska to Oregon and regional tribal lands on Turtle Island. I serve on multiple regional and national agricultural boards, educational committees, and advocate for tribal famers and food producers. I also received the 2019 NASDA Women Farm to Food Award, and more recently, the recipient of the 2021 Na’ahlee Tribal Fellowship, and the 2022 Ecotrust Indigenous Leadership Award for the PNW. I participate in the USDA Indian Agricultural Council, Made by Native American Export Food Program, Indigenous Seed Keepers Network, Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance, American Indian Housing Authority, PNW Inter Tribal Food Sovereignty Coalition, and many other regional policy-based boards and committees. This guide was created out of the need to source our tribal/traditional foods here in the PNW.

< Back Indigenize When the pandemic hit us in 2020 we began, like many Americans, to question what got us here. The social, political and economic system that we have has been designed perfectly to get the results that it's getting; that has meant the exclusion and exploitation of Black, Indigenous and People of Color. A system that placed us at the top of disease and death statistics and the bottom of income, homeownership and wealth measures. And, we began to dream about how to use our expertise to build a business movement that respects and upholds Tribal Sovereignty. That’s where Indigenize was born. As we walked, masked, through the grocery stores to buy food and supplies to keep our multi-generational family alive we realized that none of the stores we shopped at carried ANY Tribal or Native-owned products. We literally could not find one product. We didn’t get here by accident. And, we have to work intentionally to move from here toward a future where Tribes and Tribal people prosper. At Indigenize we are connecting conscious consumers with Tribal and Native owned businesses who make quality everyday products. We are more than just a company, we’re a movement to indigenize our economies and redistribute wealth back to tribal nations and people. We make gift boxes and sell pantry staples and have a blog about issues in Indian Country.

< Back Takelma Coffee Roaster This word means ‘my friend’ and is used as a greeting in the Takelma language. Takelma is the traditional language of our people, the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. We are also known as the Nahankuotana in our native tongue. We are a federally recognized Native American tribe located in southwestern Oregon between the Cascade and Coast ranges in the Umpqua and Rogue River valleys. Takelma is only spoken in our beautiful homeland. Nowhere else in the world is the melodic cadence of our language heard. Takelma Roasting is an extension of our cultural connection to people and place. Using only specialty grade coffee that is sustainably sourced, we aim to craft a quality product while considering the effects our actions are having on our world. Much pride and care goes into our coffee and we are honored to share it with you. In keeping with tradition, please enjoy with family and friends over good conversation. Celebrate your connection to people and place! Tapʱoytʱa (to prosper, to be blessed). Over the last two centuries, our people have experienced a great number of changes. As a result, the number of Takelma speakers dwindled and our language went dormant. Fortunately, through the persistence of our elders and the support of our leaders, our language is no longer sleeping. The revitalization of the Takelma language is the revitalization of our people. Takelma truly is at the heart of our rich and vibrant culture, one of reverence towards the land, its resources, and our elders. It is through our oral traditions and Takelma language that our heritage and life’s important lessons are passed down from one generation to the next. Our customs also imbue in us a deep sense of generosity and hospitality towards our family, friends, neighbors, and guests. Every roasting profile we release has a Takelma word associated with it. This is a way to honor our history and culture, as well as spark a new conversation with every cup of coffee.

The harmonies of man, soil, water, air, vegetation, and wildlife that collectively make up the American Indian agriculture community, influence our emotional and spiritual well-being.

Since that time, IAC has grown to prominence in Indian Country and among the federal government agencies and the agricultural field with which it works on behalf of individual Indian producers and Tribal enterprises. The IAC has, over the last three decades, become recognized as the most respected voice within the Indian community and government circles on agricultural policies and programs in Indian country.
