Being an agricultural community for a thousand years, Hopi developed a rich diversity of seeds.

 We strive to educate our community on all

levels of heirloom seed protection so that we

may continue our agricultural practices 

for future generations

Emerged from the voices of Hopi youth and elders,

HNYP has developed a curriculum to ignite

Grant Program

Made available through the

Native American Agricultural Fund. 

The Community Grant Program looks to strengthen & support local agriculture, food consumption & distribution by funding projects from the community

that align with the initiatives of the Natwani Coalition.

Conducted in 2005, the Hopi Community Food Assessment portrayed the state of Hopi food and farming.

Hopi has sufficient cause to restore the local food and farming practices that have sustained it for so long.

We utilize this data collected to help educate the local community and inspire positive change.
