Indigenous Food Sovereignty Toolkit — Native Food Sovereignty Alliance Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance (NAFSA), in partnership with the Indigenous Seed Keepers Network (ISKN) and Northern Arizona University (NAU), invites Indigenous growers, seed keepers, community organizers, and advocates to join us in developing the Indigenous Food Sovereignty Toolkit (IFST).
Supported by the Agroecology Fund (AEF) as part of the global IPA Initiative, this national effort puts research directly into the hands of our communities. This toolkit is built by community, for community. Rather than relying on outside researchers, the IFST uses Participatory Action Research (PAR)—an approach where Indigenous practitioners guide the questions, lead the conversations, and co-author the final resource.
Grounded in the Six Rs of Indigenous Research ( Respect, Relationship, Relevance, Reciprocity, Responsibility, and Representation ), the toolkit will serve as a practical guide for relatives starting out in seed keeping and food sovereignty, as well as those deepening community advocacy.
