Groups of Indigenous people invented and refined these techniques hundreds of years ago. Despite this history, Indigenous farmers today make up only 250 out of more than 33,000 total farms in New York State. Indigenous communities across New York and the United States have continually been disenfranchised and disposed of their land while others, like land grant institutions, have benefitted. Cornell University, for example, is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo\u0331h\u00f3:n\u01eb\u0241 (the Cayuga Nation). In compiling these resources, we acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo\u0331h\u00f3:n\u01eb\u0241 dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo\u0331h\u00f3:n\u01eb\u0241 people, past and present, to these lands and waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"for-indigenous-farmers-there-are-a-variety-of-state-and-national-organizations-and-resources-below\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">For Indigenous farmers, there are a variety of state and national organizations and resources below:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nyfarmlandfinder.org\/find-support\/traditional-center-indigenous-knowledge-and-healing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Farmland for a New Generation NY\u2019s Traditional Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Healing<\/a>&#8211; revitalizes and preserves Traditional Indigenous culture to create sustainable communities across NYS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nativefoodalliance.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nativefoodalliance.org\/our-programs-2\/indigenous-seedkeepers-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indigenous Seed Keepers Network<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambrook.com\/funding\/audience\/native-americans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ambrook\u2019s List of Agricultural Funding Opportunities for Native Americans<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nefoclandtrust.org\/nefoc-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Northeast Farmers of Color Network<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstnations.org\/projects\/native-farm-to-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native Farm to School Funding Opportunity<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/natifs.org\/vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North American Traditional Food Systems<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianag.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intertribal Agriculture Council<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstnations.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Nations Development Institute<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigenousfoodandag.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tnafa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traditional Native American Farmers Association<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcikh.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traditional Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Healing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concepts like \u201cregenerative agriculture\u201d or \u201ccrop rotation\u00bb are popular practices for the modern farmer, however these ideas are not new.
