On season one, episode eight of Rooted Wisdom, produced by the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative (IFAI), hear from IFAI’s Summer Wilkie on how the organization has supported Native youth programming since its formation and continues growing its services and support across the University of Arkansas campus and beyond.

IFAI has helped tackle the large need for youth engagement, mentorships, and networking around food and agriculture across Indian Country through the annual Native Youth in Food and Agriculture Leadership Summit for more than a decade.

As part of the University of Arkansas School of Law, IFAI also helps meet the needs of Tribal students across the university through the Native American Student Services. NASS offers academic support, internships, cultural programming, and helps Native students foster a sense of belonging and success.
