OJI:SDA’ Sustainable Indigenous Futures

Entrepreneur: Tahila Mintz, Maribel Gonzalez

Founded: 2020

OJI:SDA’ aims to implement a land-based academic curriculum by partnering with K-12 teachers and community elders. Land-based learning uses an Indigenous and environmentally-focused approach by recognizing the deep connection and relationship to land. Through this curriculum, students will engage in lessons about humanities, mathematics and sciences, while also learning about indigenous cultures and values and how to care for the Earth.
