Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center
The Natosi Saakoom Project (Sacred Earth Project) provided waste reduction education to American Indian families who are housing residents, clients in the Family Stabilization Program, or staff. They conducted 21 presentations. Over 80 individuals have been educated and taken actions such as making non-toxic cleaners, recycling, and buying in bulk. They have noted most of their residents making changes including recycling more and switching to non-toxic cleaners. As a final event, they put on an Environmental Children’s Fair with over 169 in attendance. They will continue their waste reduction education and activities throughout their programming.
