The ultimate purpose of the project is to create an integrated model living landscape that includes grassland restoration, traditional permaculture, and soil regeneration, based on traditional ecological knowledge, as a sustainable food sovereignty, education, and ecotourism center on the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana. In addition the project will increase the community's investment in the restoration of reservation land, water, and wildlife through an internship training program and volunteer opportunities to help the reservation retain and increase the protection for and appreciation of its natural resources.

This project will create a Watershed Management Plan for the Tsaile/Wheatfields Chapter to protect, conserve and restore watersheds for Tsaile, Wheatfields and Whiskey Creeks. This plan will leverage current initiatives to strengthen food and water security, sovereignty, sustainability, wellness, economy, community and cultural integrity for Navajo farmers and ranchers.
