Cherokee Nation partners with organizations for food sovereignty
The Cherokee Nation has signed several Memorandums of Understanding with Community and Cultural Outreach organizations to join the Hawiya Food Sovereignty Program. The program will distribute food packages, including meat from Cherokee Nation's 1839 Meat Co., to eligible Cherokee households. Priority will be given to elders and first-language fluent speakers. This initiative addresses food insecurity and health disparities, ensuring Cherokee citizens have access to nutritious food.
