Lower Brule Day School

Diabetes dependence upon commodities and the NAHA truck for food is rampant on the Reservation and is crippling us. It is not uncommon for a "meal" to consist of a power drink or pop and a bag of chips. Our goal is to turn this around and return to eating whole real food. We want to instill a working knowledge of and love/passion for growing one's own food and being integrally involved in that process. The grant would make it possible to continue and have comprehensive cooking classes.
