Rooted in tradition, growing for the future.
The Hive: The Indigenous Collective is an Indigenous-led nonprofit strengthening urban Native communities through culture, knowledge, food sovereignty, education, and entrepreneurship.
Everyone is welcome
Our programs are open to all community members who wish to learn and grow with us. The Hive is open to all entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs, with Indigenous entrepreneurship at the center of our work.
Three areas, woven together
Like a braid of sweetgrass, our work is stronger together — and rooted in the values of T.H.E. H.I.V.E.
Culture & Knowledge
We preserve and share Indigenous culture through storytelling, cultural education, and community-based learning for all ages.
Food Sovereignty
We grow food sovereignty through gardens, food education, and hands-on programming rooted in traditional Indigenous foodways.
Indigenous Entrepreneurship
We support Native-led entrepreneurship and economic mobility, growing through our developing initiative, The Bridge.

SCHOOLS & ORGANIZATIONS
Bring The Hive to your school or organization
Co-design hands-on learning with us — gardens and seed stewardship, kitchen teaching with Indigenous chefs, and culture and language nights. We listen first, build with your community, and measure impact together.
FOOD SOVEREIGNTY IN ACTION
From seed to table, together
We grow, harvest, and share traditional foods while teaching land care, preservation, and seasonal cooking. Youth, families, and elders learn side-by-side — restoring knowledge, health, and belonging.
