FUNDERS

Founded in 1977, the Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples emerged from a call from Indigenous communities in the Americas during the cultural, social and political renaissance era of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Seventh Generation Fund is dedicated to Indigenous Peoples' self-determination and the sovereignty of Native nations.

The organization derives its name from a precept of the Great Law of Peace of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy) which mandates that chiefs consider the impact of their decisions on the seventh generation yet to come. This principle guides them in their front-line work with all the grassroots Native communities they support in revitalization, restoration, preservation, planning and development projects.
