COVID-19 Response

The project will create traditional interconnectedness between our youth, our ancestors and Mother Earth through song and dance. The project will empower our youth by utilizing traditional dance styles, origins, language and regalia making. This will increase traditional knowledge and sustainability for our future leaders and the next seven generations.

This project creates at least twenty acres of public forest gardens in our region for GTB citizens, planted by local youth. It expands a nursery which will offer plants and seeds to GTB citizens. NRD and the museum will offer a free workshop series on food and water topics.
