Bring Acornomics to Life!

Native Roots Network (NRN) is an Indigenous-led nonprofit based in Wintu, Yana, and Pit River territories. We empower Indigenous communities by advancing a shift from extractive systems to regenerative ones, guided by our mission to create just, vibrant, and culturally grounded futures.

Through cultural revitalization, organizing, advocacy, community care, and the arts, NRN delivers sustainable solutions to today’s crises while strengthening individual and collective well-being.

At the center of our work is Acornomics—an Indigenous value-based development framework rooted in reciprocity between people and the land. Just as Native Californian Peoples care for the oaks that sustain us, Acornomics informs our workforce development, place-making, and land stewardship efforts.

With your support, we acquired land for our Be•le Bo•m Land Back initiative, and now we are building Indigenous-led regenerative projects on our land, including:

• A Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) land management team
• A localized fabrication and production lab
• Native and healthy food gardens with traditional preservation practices

Your donation will help us steward this land, grow these enterprises, and create the financial sustainability needed to thrive for generations to come.

Donate today to help us bring Acornomics to life.
