Urban/Rez Native Foods Exchange Program
As part of our Urban/Rez Native Foods Exchange (Funding for Traditional Food Economies) program, youth are learning to grow edible plants and vegetables at the Secret Garden, an urban community garden in the Mission District of San Francisco. The program is funded by Honor the Earth's Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative and we are conducting it in partnership with the Friendship House and PODER. As part of the program, we took the youth up north to Ya-Ka-Ama in Forestville for a camping/gardening/cultural trip.
These are some images they took.
