Based in Billings, Montana, the Intertribal Agriculture Council is a government-relations organization founded in 1987 to pursue the conservation, development, and use of agricultural resources for the benefit of Native communities. Its governance stems from a charter in which tribal leaders appoint voting members, a structure that ensures tribal representation in policy dialogue. This arrangement positions the council to inform policy and USDA program implementation, supporting self-determined tribal food systems. Recent activity includes the February 2026 launch of Project LEAP and ongoing engagement in conferences and events that connect tribal food systems with policy and program stakeholders. The organization also hosts regional gatherings and youth-focused forums, reflecting its role as a convener for Indigenous agricultural leadership.
