Details:
This RFA refers to “commercial tobacco” which is culturally responsive language to distinguish between industry-generated tobacco and traditional tobacco. The TCP recognizes that traditional and commercial tobacco are different in the ways they are planted, grown, harvested, and used. Traditional tobacco is and has been used in sacred ways by Native and Indigenous communities and tribes for centuries. In comparison, commercial tobacco is manufactured with chemical additives for recreational use and profit, resulting in disease and death. For more information, visit Keep it Sacred, National Native Network. When the word “tobacco” is used throughout this document, a commercial context is intended.
