Seventh Native American Generation

San Francisco, California

Project Support: "Urban/Rez Native Foods Exchange"
This project involves teaching 10-15 Native youth from the San Francisco Bay Area about bio-intensive mini-farming in order to encourage healthier eating habits and foster understanding of mini-farming in an urban setting. The project involves a youth camping/gardening trip to Ya-ka-ama’s Healthy Traditions Garden, a program of the Sonoma County Indian Health Project to provide the local Native population with wholesome food grown on Native land. The youth will return to the SNAG garden in San Francisco to employ techniques they learned up north and then return to Ya-ka-ama to harvest and distribute crops.
