SEPTEMBER INDIGENOUS-LED PLACE-BASED PROJECT FEATURE:

Urban Community Garden and Toolkit Initiative – Capital Native Nations

"It is a wonderful thing when the community can get together and participate in traditional ceremonies and eat traditional foods and regain a bit of what is often lacking here in Washington, DC. We expect that the project will create an invaluable source of knowledge and learning for the community, as we take the knowledge from elders and from the experience of the garden, as well as from the surveys that we have created. Our toolkit will be one way that we conserve this information and hopefully it will be a sustainable source of knowledge for years to come" (Capital Native Nations, 2024).
