revitalizing our sustenance project
Revitalizing Our Sustenance Project (ROSP) was created in May 2020 during the beginning summer months of the COVID-19 pandemic due the scarcity of on-reserve food access and community programming/awareness surrounding agriculture & plant life! Revitalizing Our Sustenance began as an avenue for getting youth involved in producing food for the Six Nations of Grand River Territory, which has ultimately led to the creation of this Indigenous food, seed sovereignty, and land restoration focused programming. In order to increase access to Indigenous foods & environmental awareness/education within and outside the Six Nations community.
As the program and ROSP team grew, the community and land restoration needs became very evident over the summer months of 2021. As our project develops over time our long-term goals are:
1) Land Restoration & Revitalizing Plant Life
2) Seed Saving & Community Access to Seeds
3) Community Food Access & Community Engagement in learning Sustainable Agriculture
4) Awareness & Education surrounding Agriculture, Climate Change Effects, & Environmental Restoration
5) Building Resources for Land-Based Learning & Awareness
PS: ROSP is entirely youth lead.
