With this fund we are working to transfer knowledge to our youth, to change policies on land, water, fisheries and fire management, to revitalize our cultural principles and practices, to build sustainable capacities for current and future generations, and on everything in-between while moving away from dependency on grants and extraction based forest management systems.
The InterTribal Buffalo Council (ITBC) is a collection of 69 federally recognized Tribes from 19 different states whose mission is to restore buffalo to Indian Country in order to preserve our historical, cultural, traditional, and spiritual relationship for future generations.
We work with communities to co-build resilience and adaptation strategies to climate change through projects that intersect food, energy, water, and knowledge systems. These projects include the planting of food forests and the Breadfruit/Ulu Initiative, the creation of a youth resilience council as part of the Pacific Risk Management Ohana, conservation of Hawaii National Park Service trails, and other programs and projects that support community relationship and knowledge sharing.
Our College relies on friends – for advocacy, good counsel, and the philanthropic support that helps us serve our students, especially those who rely on scholarships and other aid.
