Who We Are

​

The Food Sovereignty Programs provides access to nutritious food, promotes balanced eating habits, and reduces reliance on processed foods. The program plays a pivotal role in addressing food insecurity. To foster community support, our team’s efforts extend beyond food distribution. We offer education and empowerment opportunities, ensuring sustainable solutions for better health outcomes. Join us in cultivating a healthier, more resilient community through food sovereignty!

In order to achieve the goal of the Food Sovereignty Program, the following objectives have been established:

​

  1) Construct and manage a greenhouse that will produce            fresh, natural produce year-round for local schools, tribal        organizations, and community members.

  2) Develop a comprehensive agricultural curriculum that is          culturally relevant, appropriate, and age-specific.

  3) Partner with local, tribal, and state regional entities to              improve and expand the 7-acre community farm.

  4) Educate and promote the consumption of all-natural,               fresh produce from the 7-acre farm with the development       of a tribal food system plan.
