Last week, the Little Shell Tribal Council announced a new food sovereignty program to help out tribal members all over the state of Montana. The program will raise cattle and grow vegetables to provide healthier diets for their community.
The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa bought around 750 acres of co-op farmland in the historic Hill 57 area of Great Falls. The project is funded by the CARES Act in order to help increase access to nutritious foods during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gerald Gray is the chairman of the council and said that the tribe partners with other organizations to deliver food boxes to tribal members who need it most.

The Little Shell Tribe on Friday announced the launch of its food sovereignty program, where the tribe will grow crops and raise cattle to address food insecurity within the community and its neighbors.
Funding for the program was secured through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. Clarence Sivertsen, first vice-chair of the tribe, said the council established the program to support tribal members and neighbors amid the ongoing pandemic but with the eye towards sustainability for future generations.
Chairman Gerald Gray said the tribe expects to receive its first head of about 40 cattle within a month and plans to begin processing by the fall. Elders and veterans will be the first recipients of the program.
