JOIN THE NATIVE AG COMMUNICATORS WORK GROUP
The Native Ag Communicators Work Group is a collaborative space facilitated by the Native American Agriculture Fund, with support from the Intertribal Agriculture Council and the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative.
This growing network brings together communication professionals from across the Indigenous agriculture sector—including farmers, producers, nonprofit teams, educational organizations, Tribes, rural communities and more. Through bi-monthly meetings, communicators have the opportunity to connect with peers, share ideas, and build the digital and professional skills needed to thrive in today’s fast-paced communications landscape.
Our stories have always been our strength.
