Local Foods Program Coordinator- Sicangu Food Sovereignty
 
 
 
Located on the Rosebud Reservation in south-central South Dakota, the Sicangu Food Sovereignty Initiative (SFSI) works to build an indigenous food system that promotes health, self-reliance, and sustainability for the Sicangu Lakota Oyate. The colonization of the Lakota people brought about a radical shift in diet and lifestyle, which has led to an alarming increase in rates of type II diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. The FSI operates on the individual and community levels to grow a food system that reflects Lakota virtues and culture. This includes operating a one-acre community garden, sponsoring a weekly farmers market, working with elders to revitalize traditional foods/medicines and knowledge, and developing educational programs for the community. The VISTA member will assist in this work by building the capacity of the Food Sovereignty Initiative through assisting with community outreach and implementation of community programming.
