What happened

Hopi Tutskwa Permaculture describes itself as "a community Indigenous-led non-profit based in the Village of Kykotsmovi" on the Hopi Reservation in northern Arizona. ProPublica lists Hopi Tutskwa Permaculture Institute Inc in Kykotsmovi under EIN 47-4563866, with tax exemption issued in October 2016.

Its stated mission is to create community-based solutions to pass knowledge to future generations and rebuild culturally sustainable, healthy communities. Its site says it trains Hopi youth, supports leadership in local food systems and carries out sustainable ecological projects. Its staff page names a leadership team and construction crew, including Jacobo Marcus as operations director; tribal affiliations are not listed beside the names.

Its Regional Food Hub page lists work on culturally significant food, traditional seeds, restoring local watersheds and foodsheds, sustainable housing, renewable energy and "supporting regional Land Stewardship." It also runs a Land Steward Fellowship, which it says offers training to land stewards from across the Indigenous Southwest who work within their traditional territories, and has announced a first cohort of fellows.

This is stewardship and food-system work, not land acquisition. The Decolonizing Wealth Project lists the Institute as a 2026 Indigenous Earth Fund grantee partner.

Good to know. This group does stewardship, farming and training; it has not bought or received land.
