NAHEM

November 25, 2025

Mission: Native Americans in Higher Education and Mentorship (NAHEM) is a national, Native women-owned organization driving the cultural resilience and self-determination of Indigenous peoples globally. We achieve our mission through a proven, grassroots service model, delivered nationally and reinforced by vital localized programs in Northern California and Seattle, Washington, focusing on education, mentorship, and cultural sustainability for communities across North America, South America, and Oceania.

“Native Americans in Higher Education and Mentorship (NAHEM) is dedicated to advancing Indigenous-led conservation and environmental justice. This funding directly supports our Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Pillar through the implementation of our Restorative Justice Seed Exchange Program. This initiative—operating across local and national programs—seeks to bring equality and vital cultural support to Indigenous conservation efforts, centering ancestral wisdom and seed sovereignty”
