In this episode we speak with Janie Hipp, CEO of the Native American Agriculture Fund, currently the largest Indigenous led philanthropic institution formed out of a successful lawsuit against the federal government for systemic racism against Native peoples in the United States. Janie comes to this work with decades of experience in the world of food and agriculture in Indian country. We talk to Janie about her vision of a resilient Indigenous food system; the role of agriculture in strengthening tribal economies in the US; her views as a Chickasaw woman on self determination; the role of intertribal alliances and generally what we need to move this work forward collectively.
