Çaca Yvaire

1919-Present

Çaca Yvaire is a co-coordinator of the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust (NEFOC), which aims to find ways of honoring the land to build a land trust with clarity of focus, intentionality, and lived experience that centers the voices of QTBIPOC Farmers, Land Stewards, and Earth Workers.
NEFOC, fiscally sponsored by Soul Fire Farm Institute, Inc., began as an informal alliance of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian farmers making our lives on land in the Northeast region. NEFOC, currently at over 220 members, seeks to advance land sovereignty through permanent and secure land tenure for Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian farmers and land stewards who will use the land in a sacred manner that honors their ancestors dreams - for sustainable farming, human habitat, ceremony, native ecosystem restoration, and cultural preservation.
