In 2022, CIT-ED was awarded the EPA Sustainable Materials Management grant, which we used to develop a community compost and gardening program. During that first year we produced over 200 pounds of produce for the community, and collected over 300 pounds of food waste to use as compost rather than it going to the landfill.

​

In 2025, we are planning a cultural garden for the Little Arrows school children, and are planning a food forest to increase our Tribe's food sovereignty, and educate the Tribal and local community on our ancestors ways of using the Earth's resources for food, medicine, and life.
