Original American Foundation

Original American Foundation was created by and for American Indians and American People of Color in Philadelphia.  We noticed problems in our low income and BIPOC communities. Lack of healthy produce, chronic disease such as hypertension, safe green spaces, lack of creative and cultural outlets are examples. Indigenous cultural practices such as growing healthy organic crops, archery. carpentry, painting and botanical art  are some things we teach to youth and adults alike. to help address these issues.  As members of this community, our founders noticed that our people have been  experiencing gentrification at alarming rates. With this in mind, we also teach skills in acquiring  and maintaining land. With all our programs, activities and services, we give

knowledge that can be passed down for generations. We are committed to addressing these issues and more. This will not only benefit us now but always.
