Restoring our sacred connection to food 

Food is fundamental to the health and well-being of the Siċaŋġu people. Food is how we celebrate each other and show our care. Food helps us heal and grow. Food connects us—to family, community, ourselves, the earth, and to our Source. 

The ability to produce our own food and nourish physically, spiritually, and mentally healthy people is essential in building a strong and sovereign tribal nation.

The Siċaŋġu Food Sovereignty Initiative, 2019 winner of a prestigious international food system vision prize, is a community-based effort to Indigenize our food system and build wicozani (the good way of life) for the Siċaŋġu people—now, and for future generations. 

From Seed Sovereignty, to Keya Wakpala Farms, farmer & rancher education, the Siċaŋġu Harvest Market, and health & cooking classes, we are transforming and revitalizing Siċaŋġu Lakota foodways.

Tour de Rez

The 3rd Annual Tour de Rez is coming soon!


This is a free tour of the local area's farms and gardens. See how our local ecosystem can help support our people, meet the farmers and gardeners bringing food from their farm to your table, and learn how you can join in and get involved!

The 2025 Tour de Rez was a success thanks to everyone who participated and shared their time and knowledge. This year’s tour featured five stops: A&G’s Little Farm, Ol’ Miss Sully’s Farm, Krista’s Plantation, Fire Fly Farms, and Carm & Foster’s Homestead.

While dates are still being finalized, plans are underway for Tour de Rez 2026, and we look forward to bringing it back to the community.
