4th world foundation

Our History

We came together with a common bond that was the desire to serve our Indigenous relatives across Northern Arizona. Our goals were simple, The 4th World Foundation strives to hold onto the cultural roots that ground us, and helps shape a future of environmentally conscious, Indigenous strong, uniquely imaginative leaders for the betterment of Hopi & Navajo to guide a truly Regenerative Economy and shared vision of inspired innovation using the balance of stewardship and creativity.  We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing Indigenous community. 

Together, we can!

Our Mission

We aim to empower, educate, and support our communities through respectful, honorable leadership to cultivate sustainable, regenerative life ways. We strive to nurture the return to Indigenous-knowledge-based economies, away from the fossil fuel economy, while creating wisdom-based investment tools that advance Native American owned businesses across the northern Arizona region.
