The Intertribal Agriculture Council (IAC) is a Native-led national nonprofit organization. IAC was founded in 1987 to pursue and promote the conservation, development, and use of our agricultural resources for the betterment of our people. Tribal leaders, in a true expression of self-determination, identified and delegated their representation within the IAC Charter, comprising a voting membership that remains in existence today. This organizational leadership structure uniquely positions IAC to inform policy and USDA programmatic implementation to support sustainable Tribal food systems.
Since its founding, IAC has actively supported Tribes and Tribal producers across the country with on-the-ground technical assistance and services, as well as advocacy for improvements in federal policy, recognizing the diversity of 574 federally recognized tribes and their trust relationships with the Federal government.
IAC's community-driven platform is unlike traditional e-learning platforms, integrating social networking features that allows users to engage in discussions, events, and direct messaging alongside online learning opportunities. This site is uniquely designed to support Native agricultural producers by bringing together a variety of educational resources in one accessible online space.
This platform integrates webinars and in-depth online workshops to enhance technical assistance and knowledge sharing for Tribes and Tribal producers that offers flexibility and ease of access through both web browsers and the Mighty Networks mobile app.
