Oaxacan Cultural Project

The Oaxacan Cultural Project supports indigenous migrants from the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Honor the Earth funds will be used to host two workshops with the indigenous community to learn about global warming and the destruction of the environment, focusing on how farming practices and indigenous lifestyles in Mexico can be duplicated here in the U.S. to ease the impact of pollution, overuse of fossil fuels, and waste disposal. A community garden will be developed to allow the elders to teach the youth traditional, organic methods of farming, with the harvest going to the participating families.
