With NAAF funding, the Cheyenne River Youth Project (CRYP) will prepare Lakota teens aged 13-18 for a future in agriculture-related business development and food sovereignty while focusing on cultural traditions. Lakota youth will participate in projects such as gardening, indigenous farming, and activities while learning about building a business and access to capital.
