Activities

I want to invite you to something really meaningful happening in our community: Forest Garden Community & Land Tending Days at Daybreak Star.

These gatherings are about more than gardening—they're about showing up for the land, for Indigenous food sovereignty, and for the continued work of Native people reclaiming space, culture, and connection. Led by the hands and hearts of community members and organizers at United Indians of All Tribes, this work centers Indigenous knowledge and relationships with the land that go back thousands of years and continue strong today.

Food as Medicine, Food as Resistance
The forest garden is being grown with intention—filled with traditional plants like camas, salmonberry, huckleberry, wild strawberry, cedar, and nettle—not only as foods and medicines, but as acts of care for the many programs UIATF runs. These plants will nourish elders, youth, families, and ceremony. They are first and biggest teachers and ancestors.

This is about food, yes—but it's also about sovereignty. About healing relationships with land that’s been taken and harmed. And about recognizing that tending plants is also a way of tending memory, culture, and future generations.

These community tending days are open to all who want to learn, help, and build relationships. You don’t need gardening experience—just a willingness to listen, get your hands in the soil, and show up with care.

This is Indigenous-led, land-based work. It’s rooted in culture, care, and connection. If you’ve been looking for a way to show up meaningfully, this is one of those opportunities.
