Led by Native peoples, the fund provides grants, staff support, and regional gatherings, with an approach that builds upon long-standing relationships and honors customary protocols across the 50-county region it serves. Renewed funding will enable the Native Cultures Fund to continue to support an array of artists and culture-bearers, as well as undertake an evaluation of its historic activities and plan for the future.
