IRS990/Desc0Food Sovereignty/Healthy Food Systems/Sustainability:Establishment of a healthy foods hub allowing greater food access in the rural reservation "food desert." The hub includes a food bank, a healthy foods cafe, and a food distribution project delivering approximately 800,000 pounds of food a year to two impoverished reservations and surrounding isolated communities as well as making deliveries to those without transportation; a program that serves the specialized needs of elders while involving them in the process through sharing their wisdom and their knowledge of traditional foods and lifeways, and an educational program that promotes healthy lifestyles and teaches nutrition, natural farming, hunting, gathering wild plants and medicines and the preparation of traditional foods. A land-based Indigenous Learning Center is in the process of development to be a learning and training center for food sovereignty, traditional land recovery and restoration and the preservation of the biodiversity of Mother Earth.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Youth Development and Leadership, Community Healing from Historical Trauma, Cultural Sustainability Activities:Reservation youth participate in enrichment activities that include Crow language, history and heritage; wilderness skills; Native skills; Native games; literacy and academic enrichment; community radio; life skills, sustainable living and other leadership activities. Promising youth participate in educational programs beyond the reservation and are assisted with college and career opportunities. They are provided tools to make change in their communities as well as learn to be successful in the greater global environment. Through intergenerational relationships with Elders and Culture Keepers, youth are mentored in Crow cultural ways and learn to lead community cultural events and eremonies that promote healing from historical trauma. A new pilot program places select preteen youth in an expeditionary education middle school environment, including trauma therapy and individualized mentoring. Approximately 3600 reservation youth are assisted by the Center Pole.
