“There is no more important time to invest in the renewal of Native cultures. I truly believe we have a duty to come together as one people and one nation to preserve and revitalize our Native arts and cultures.”

Tribal Chairman, Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation
“These gifts demonstrate strong tribal interest in creating a powerful funding engine for protecting and preserving Native art and culture—the very cornerstones of tribal sovereignty. A foundation of this nature will help reverse the long history of government suppression of Native culture done as part of the United States' assimilation program. Through gifts of this nature, Indian Country can direct its resources to protect what is closest to home to all Indian tribes—our own cultures."
