Rooted Wisdom: Shaping the Next Generation of Tribal Agriculturalists

On this episode of Rooted Wisdom, hear from the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative's Summer Wilkie on how IFAI has supported Native youth programming since the organization's formation. IFAI has helped tackle the large need for youth engagement, mentorships, and networking around food and agriculture across Indian Country through the annual Native Youth in Food and Agriculture Leadership Summit for more than a decade. 

As part of the University of Arkansas School of Law, IFAI also helps meet the needs of Tribal students across the university through the Native American Student Services. NASS offers academic support, internships, cultural programming, and helps Native students foster a sense of belonging and success. 

Don't miss out on this insightful episode and learn more about the initiatives that empower students to thrive both academically and culturally.
