Indigenous Animals Grant

The Indigenous Animals Harvesting and Meat Processing Grant Program (IAG) is designed to
support the priorities of Tribal Nations in meeting the needs of traditional harvesting methods and
indigenous animals. This project intends to fund projects which invest in Tribal Nations' supply
chain resiliency, indigenous animals, restoring local indigenous food systems, and indigenous
processing methods, and expanding local capacity for the harvesting, processing, manufacturing,
storing, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution (communal or commercial) of meat, poultry,
seafood, and other animals that provide culturally appropriate food and food security to tribal
communities. The primary purpose of all projects must be to expand or enhance indigenous
animals and meat processing capacity in Indian Country.
