SVF aims to create solutions that restore a sustainable environment that will support future generations. The focus is to educate Native Youth on culturally appropriate long-term solutions to combat a quickly depleting environment. Housing, Aquaponic and Hydroponic cultivation methods are some of the solutions we support that are geared toward resilience, food sovereignty, circumventing health disorders to restore self-sufficient communities.

Resilience is the capacity to restore or recover a sustainable state; historically a shinning trait among Native American Indians.

Doubt can defeat success, while faith will claim victory!

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also DREAM….not only plan, but also BELIEVE.” – Anatole France

“Out of the Indian approach to existence there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing love for nature…
…enriching faith in a Supreme Power; and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a single guide to mundane relations.”
-Luther Standing Bear, ca 1886-1939
