Fort Peck Reservation Indigenous Village Project

Project Support: Indigenous Village Garden
The Montana State University Extension Fort Peck Reservation Program, in conjunction with White Tails 4-H Club, Fort Peck Community College and the Fort Peck Sioux and Assiniboine Tribes are responding to the need to maintain the valuable traditions of their ancestors by growing a 100 acre indigenous garden with native seeds of corn, squash, beans and sunflowers. Equipment for pumping water from the Poplar River to the garden is essential to its success. Funds supported the purchase of a solar-powered surface pump to irrigate and sustain the garden.
