Legacy Cultural Learning Community

Project Support: Elder/Youth Garden Expansion
Legacy intends to expand its 20-acre Elder/Youth Garden Project and incorporate traditional planting, tending and harvesting practices into on-going cultural camps. Legacy will continue to partner with Mvskoke Food Sovereignty Initiative (MFSI) to preserve the food heritage and traditions of the Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee and Yuchi Indigenous peoples who attend the cultural camps. Produce from the garden will be used to nourish camp participants and also be sold through the Okmulgee Farmer's Market to provide continued economic support for the project.
