Native American Food Fair
Last year, the Native Farm Bill Coalition hosted the first-ever Native American Food Fair on Capitol Hill. The event highlighted the Native Farm Bill Coalition’s advocacy efforts with the Farm Bill and the policy priorities as Congress begins discussing the upcoming legislation.
Regional Fly-ins
This spring, the Native Farm Bill Coalition organized a series of “fly-ins” for Tribal leaders and Native producers across the country to talk directly with members of Congress, their staff, and the Biden Administration. By participating in these fly-ins, Coalition members had the opportunity to advocate for policy changes that would positively impact Indian Country, such as strengthening tribal self-governance, allowing Tribes to manage nutrition programs, investing in economic development opportunities in rural communities, and much more.
