Synopsis

After the mass slaughter of the buffalo and the forced relocation of the Sicangu Lakota people onto reservations, their once abundant land has become a food desert. Traditionally a hunter-gatherer tribe, the Sicangu Lakota tribe is starting a new tradition by restoring their food system through the Food Sovereignty Initiative. The Initiative empowers regional food entrepreneurs to learn sustainable practices such as seed breeding, regenerative farming, indigenous recipes, and sustainable buffalo harvesting.
