Navajo Churro Sheep

Our Navajo Churro Sheep Project is rooted in restoring the sacred relationship between the Diné people and Navajo-Churro sheep, a breed deeply connected to cultural identity, resilience, and lifeways.  Our goal is to reinvigorate and pass this knowledge forward, thus providing opportunities for others to build their own sustainable lifeways.

We are developing a sustainable orchard and land stewardship initiative focused on food sovereignty, cultural restoration, and long-term community wellness. Our efforts include expanding high-desert fruit orchards, restoring traditional agricultural practices, and responsibly caring for the land through future harvesting, conservation, and community-based sustainability projects. 

Development of market gardens and greenhouse spaces to support sustainable agriculture, healthy food access, and traditional plant knowledge. Our gardens include a variety of vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants, with future plans to expand community-based growing and land stewardship efforts rooted in wellness, sustainability, and cultural connection. .

Our land rematriation program is rooted in the understanding that the well-being of people is inseparable from the well-being of the land, water, plants, animals, and air. Through traditional cultural knowledge and Indigenous ways of living, we work to restore and strengthen the sacred relationship between community and nature by caring for the land, revitalizing traditional practices, and creating spaces for healing, learning, and connection for future generations. 

We are working to expand workforce development and hands-on learning opportunities that support community wellness, cultural knowledge, and sustainable living. Through partnerships with regional workforce, educational, and community organizations, we provide training in areas such as gardening, land restoration, traditional building practices, sustainable agriculture, and cultural education while creating meaningful opportunities for youth and community members. 

  Our Mind-Body Medicine Healing Program supports community healing through mind-body wellness programming, support groups, and facilitator training opportunities. This initiative is designed to strengthen individual and community wellness while building local capacity for long-term healing, peer support, and culturally grounded care.
