We Support Strong, Stable Tribal Communities and Beyond

 

Flower Hill Institute is a Native-owned, community-directed nonprofit. Our objectives include preserving and enhancing cultural resources, preparing youth to inherit leadership, improving economic self-sufficiency, agriculture, food sovereignty and security, and improving outcomes to climate change.

Flower Hill also works nationally, doing outreach and providing technical assistance on the USDA Meat and Poultry Processing Technical Assistance program and the USDA Farm Service Agency Outreach, Education, & Technical Assistance program.

2023 Impact Report

In 2023, Flower Hill took our stories and our work to other underserved communities across the United States, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Commitments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nonprofit partners, colleges and universities, fellow tribally based organizations, our dedicated staff, and private donors supported our outreach.

Our 2023 Impact Report includes a sampling of these and other important stories about our work.


OUR FOUR PILLARS OF WORK

 

Enhancing efforts that value, support and celebrate Native culture, heritage and language as a means of improving health and well-being in Tribal communities.

Ensuring long-term strength and stability for Tribal communities by expanding their ability to achieve food sovereignty using traditional means and methods.

Increasing innovation and science literacy and capacity for the next generation of Tribal leaders through promotion of traditional health, agricultural and environmental conservation.

Accelerating the ability and capacity of Tribal communities to establish sustainable solutions to the cultural and economic impacts of climate change, where disparate impacts are likely to occur.
