Dream of Wild Health wants to improve the health and well-being of Native people. The Minnesota non-profit operates a 10-acre farm where it teaches young people and others about traditional food, the economics of agriculture, leadership skills and healthy eating. Through educational programs and partnerships with a number of tribes and other like-minded groups, Dream of Wild Health promotes traditional food knowledge, sustainability and access to healthy foods. We’ll hear from the organization’s staff to get a deeper look into the group’s mission.
