Brave Heart Society

Project Support: The Good Heart Garden

Brave Heart Society’s Good Heart Garden is a community run garden on Inhanktonwan Dakota (Yankton Sioux) land where traditional Native foods and herbs are grown in the Native way. Volunteers are recruited as parent-child teams to engage in gardening activities that not only bring them closer to their culture but also bring them closer to one another. In this way, the garden not only puts the community on the path to sustainability through local foods but it also serves as a powerful tool for cultural revival and sharing.
