Members of the Food Sovereignty team work out in the garden.

FOOD SOVEREIGNTY RESOURCES

Check out our seed catalogues, recipes, planting guides, catering directory, kids' activity & recipe book, food system reports, and more! For cooking classes, wild harvest how-to's, and more videos, check out our YouTube channel! 

Community Seed Sharing Project

Our seed sharing program is currently on hiatus; we will resume seed distributions in 2022.


The Sicangu Food Sovereignty Initiative is excited to be able to offer seeds to our community members to help families and communities take control over the food they eat! Seeds are available to individuals or programs located on the Rosebud Reservation, or tribal members who live within 30 miles of reservation boundaries. There is no charge to receive seeds. 


If this is your first year gardening or you are not interested in saving seeds, please use the Hybrid Seed Request Form to request seeds from the hybrid catalogues.  If you are an experienced gardener & are interested in saving seeds to help grow our seed bank & future community seed libraries, please request seeds via the Open Pollinated Request Form.


If you have any questions about our seed distribution program, or if you are interested in coordinating seed distribution for your community or program, please contact FSI Community Empowerment coordinator Franky Young at alan.young@sicangucorp.com.
