The New Leaf Foundation (TNLF) wants to help restore the culture and heritage of the Native American people to once again be leaders in trade and commerce and yoke their strength by developing a Tribal Council network to help them compete in today?s national and international trade and commerce markets. TNLF intends to help them build trade and commerce while maintaining their heritage of sustainability by working with them to develop careful plans that will allow for both. The American Indian lived life in love with nature. Their wisdom showed in everything - their capacity for harmony with the environment, what they wore, what they created, what they ate and how it was prepared, in their home life and importance of family and in their philosophies and beliefs. Many of these beliefs have been erased from years of oppression, war, poverty, and religious persecution. TNLF will help Native Americans develop skills needed for economic stability and self-sufficiency.
