Who We Are
Na'ah Ilahee Fund
Na’ah Illahee Fund is an Indigenous women-led organization that serves as a bridge builder, facilitator, and resource partner as we work to catalyze a movement toward positive futures. We are deeply committed to honoring and revitalizing the wisdom and practices rooted in Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future for generations to come.
Mission & Vision
Our mission is to support and promote the leadership of Indigenous women in the ongoing regeneration of Indigenous communities throughout the northwest region of Turtle Island, from the Arctic to the Rockies.
Our vision is a prosperous region with vibrant Indigenous communities that have found their way back to healthy and thriving cultures, lands, and regenerative economies.
Why We Act
In all that we do, we are committed to strengthening balanced connections with the lands, waters, plants, and our more-than-human relatives. We see the land as a living, breathing entity, and we lead our work around this way of being. We work in relationship with Mother Earth to strengthen her living systems through acts of support, reciprocity, and mutual respect. When we care for all our relations, we restore the health of our people and the planet.
We believe that a strong network of Indigenous leaders, in solidarity with our BIPOC and white allies, will help lead to the return of living in balance with the natural world and one another, as our people have done since time immemorial.
