Menīkānaehkem, Inc.

Our project will create intergenerational mentor teams to support community members by sharing and reviving indigenous growing and gathering knowledge. This strategy will help retain community interest throughout the entire growing season and leverage the resources and ongoing projects of all partners involved.

The project will utilize inter-generational relationships and traditional knowledge, to foster youth leadership and community organizational skills. It creates a space for youth and elders to build relationships, increase access to traditional tools for empowerment and healing, and connect to the land.
