Cherokee Nation launches agriculture program at Sequoyah High
February 10, 2025
Cherokee Nation is investing in youth agriculture education with a new program at Sequoyah High School, offering hands-on learning in farming, ranching, and food sustainability. In partnership with the Bureau of Indian Education, Native American Agriculture Fund, and Tribal Agriculture Fellowship, the initiative aims to strengthen tribal land stewardship and food sovereignty. The program is part of a larger $65 million investment in Sequoyah Schools.
We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
