The ultimate purpose is to 1) create a meaningful and lasting partnership between the Community Food Sovereignty Initiative and Boys with Braids Rosebud that more deeply engages our tribal community in healthy behavior and activity, with healthy food as a catalyst, and 2) to utilize that partnership to better leverage the positive impact both are able to have, both at the family and community level, around health. Furthermore, this project will increase the participants sense of control over their families and communities health by empowering them with greater awareness of the importance of nutrition.
