Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples
As the first Indigenous-led philanthropic organization in the United States, Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples (SGF) is dedicated to promoting Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty. Deriving their name from a precept in the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace—which emphasizes consideration of the impact of decisions on the seventh generation yet to come—the work of SGF throughout the Americas is based on holistic ecological stewardship and recognizes the direct relationship between a healthy environment, social justice, and community well-being. SGF works at grassroots and international policy levels, and supports Indigenous communities through grantmaking, technical support and gatherings, and upholds a high level of care and commitment to the preservation of traditional knowledge and culture.

How to Become an Ally to Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous Peoples have many answers to that question. Over many campaigns, many generations, for more than 500 years they have tried to tell, to teach, to model cooperative relations in their work and in their agreements and relations with settlers.
