First Peoples Fund

Founded in 1995, First Peoples Fund (FPF) is guided by Collective SpiritĀ®, that which moves each one of us to stand up and make a difference, to pass on ancestral knowledge and simply extend a hand of generosity. Our mission is to honor and support the Collective SpiritĀ® of Native culture bearers and artists in order to encourage and sustain the collective creation of a vibrant Indigenous Arts Ecology. Our work has evolved into a holistic strategy that recognizes the importance of Native culture bearers and artists in bringing about social change, encouraging leaders and inspiring next-generation leaders.

NARF's objectives are to protect the rights of and seek justice for tribes and Native peoples. In the words of Executive Director John Echohawk, "We ask for nothing more, and will accept nothing less than the U.S. Government keeping the promises it has made to Native Americans."
