Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate

In this pandemic, there is a call for medicinal plants to help our Tribe to protect, prevent, mitigate and combat COVID sickness but there was not enough available. This purpose is to create, originate, maintain and cultivate 4+ medicine garden areas. This will leverage and provide seedlings/seed bank.

The project will create new innovative immersion curriculum that will allow students to learn and retain language based knowledge as well as increase the amount of language learners who will become language speakers. This project is in line with our overall strategic plan to increase the number of fluent speakers.
