About the Program: 

The Tohono O'odham have traditionally been dryland farmers so much of our cultural knowledge is agricultural. The school garden at the Primary School has already increased Tohono O'odham language and cultural activities including traditional foods planting songs and harvest activities. The grant will enable us to expand activities into the summer when the monsoon rains and Tohono O'odham traditions mark the traditional new year.
