Youth
Native Roots & Recipes
Cultural education for youth through programming hosted at the First Americans Museum.
Empowering youth, all year long.
From Closer to Earth youth programs to Native Farming Solutions garden classes and night markets, every IYEP initiative is designed to feed both people and tradition.
Youth
Closer to Earth
Environmental stewardship and cultural learning that connects young people to the land, community, and Indigenous heritage.
Food sovereignty
Native Farming Solutions
Our food sovereignty program — heirloom seeds, urban gardens, and Indigenous cultivation across Oklahoma City.
Education
Indigenous Gardening Classes
Hands-on workshops covering seed starting, land stewardship, and small-space sustainability rooted in tradition.
Food system
Traditional Food Preservation
Reintroducing food as art — connecting raw-food producers with local markets, restaurants, and home kitchens.
Community
Garden Socials
Regular community gatherings that promote food sovereignty, knowledge-sharing, and good food together.
Markets
FAM Night Markets
Pop-up Native markets celebrating Indigenous makers, growers, and traditional foods.

The methods we teach are now recognized as regenerative permaculture. For us, they are simply how our people have always farmed.

The Three Sisters
Corn, beans, and squash grown together as a self-sustaining companion planting system.
02
Agroforestry
Integrating trees into agricultural systems to enhance biodiversity and soil health.
03

Worm-casting seed starts and liquid extracts from food scraps to build living soil.
