Little Earth of United Tribes

Meet the Team Turning a Minneapolis Superfund Site into an Urban Farm | Eater

"This 9.4-acre, 212-unit HUD-subsidized housing complex, founded in 1973, is the country’s only Native American-preference Section 8 community and home to nearly 1,000 residents representing 38 tribal affiliations. It provides support services aimed at eliminating systemic barriers for Indigenous residents but sits in a heavily industrialized area plagued by legacy contamination and high rates of asthma, heart disease, and other pollution-related illnesses. Shorter life expectancy and repeated losses of young people to health conditions linked to environmental exposure have driven deep community organizing and a push for healthier, more equitable opportunities." - Kate Nelson
