Wič́hóni Wašté is a structured, application-based program that provides culturally relevant food to households experiencing food insecurity while equipping our relatives with the nutrition, cooking, and budgeting knowledge to build lasting food independence.

Remodeling of the SRCDC’s kitchen, will create utilization of this current asset and increase the opportunity for the program to develop and initiate the goals of the program. Goals of the program are to develop ways to educate and promote healthy eating by increasing the opportunity of indigenous food knowledge.

This project will create a pathway for our members to retain lost knowledge of traditional planting and harvesting practices. It will create a living link between our ancestors and our future generations. It will serve our ultimate goal of restoring indigenous food systems that empower self-determination.
