The Sicagu Harvest Market on the Rosebud Reservation exemplifies the Sicagu Nation's commitment to food sovereignty by providing access to traditional, healthful foods and fostering community. Through initiatives including mushroom cultivation and bison rearing, Sicagu Co addresses historical food inequities linked to colonization. Michael Prate emphasizes the unifying role of food in building relationships within the community. The market is rooted in both modern and ancestral practices, highlighting the importance of reconnecting with traditional food sources for cultural and spiritual wellness among the Lakota people.
The Sicagu Harvest Market serves not just as a food source but as a vital cultural and community gathering space for the Sicagu Nation.
Food is universal and is a grounding cultural and family force. It brings people together to build relationships, essential for community well-being.
