Project Support: The Zenteotl Project
Zenteotl is a community engagement project dedicated to honoring and restoring Mexihca (Aztec) organic gardening methods, traditional dance, arts and oral histories, especially those surrounding Corn. Youth and families from the central Minneapolis neighborhood sow and harvest heirloom blue Corn seeds and other traditional plants. Funds will support the piloting of an annual Corn Festival - Festival del Maiz - to celebrate the significance of Corn for many cultures and promote involvement in sustainable gardening practices.

Honor the Earth grants solely to Native groups directed and controlled by Native peoples. Priority is given to grassroots, community-based organizations with little access to government or tribal resources. Honor the Earth does not make grants to individuals. We do require proof of non-profit status for all applicants. If you are working with a fiscal agent, we will need an IRS determination letter and a sponsorship agreement from them.
