The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Native American Coalition, both housed at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, have launched a new website providing business development aid for Indigenous entrepreneurs.
The Turtle Island Trade Coalition website provides support and resources for Native food producers interested in expanding their customer base and the reach of their business, and free membership applications are currently open.
The program was funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s $25 million Regional Food Business Center grant, awarded to the university’s Rural Prosperity Nebraska initiative in 2023.
