CHALLENGES FACING NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES INCLUDE LACK OF PLENTIFUL HIGH QUALITY FOOD AND LIMITED ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. ONE SOLUTION IS INCREASED LOCAL VEGETABLE PRODUCTION, ALTHOUGH RESERVATION SOILS ARE OFTEN NOT PRIME FOR AGRICULTURE AND POTENTIAL CLIMATE CHANGE COULD FURTHER INCREASE WEATHER RISKS. TO ADDRESS THIS, NEW GARDENS WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN FIELDS BY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO MAY BE INEXPERIENCED OR HAVE LIMITED CAPITAL RESOURCES. SUSTAINABLE METHODS OF WEED CONTROL AND WATER MANAGEMENT WILL ALSO BE NEEDED.WE WILL COMPARE COMMON METHODS OF GARDEN ESTABLISHMENT (TILLAGE, HERBICIDES, SMOTHERING), AND COMPARE COMMON METHODS OF WEED CONTROL IN SPECIALTY CROP PRODUCTION (ROTOTILLING, HOEING, MULCHING). STUDENTS AND STAFF FROM UNITED TRIBES TECHNICAL COLLEGE LAND GRANT DEPARTMENT WILL MEET ANNUALLY WITH RESEARCH PARTNERS TO DISCUSS COMMUNITY NEEDS, EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN, AND TREATMENT TECHNIQUES. WE WILL THEN IMPLEMENT THEM AND COLLECT DATA ON WEED COMMUNITIES, LABOR AND OTHER INPUTS, SOIL CONDITION, AND YIELD OF WINTER SQUASH. TO BUILD CAPACITY AND PROVIDE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, STUDENTS AND STAFF WILL PRESENT OUR ESTABLISHMENT, MANAGEMENT, AND ECONOMICS FINDINGS TO OUR UNITED TRIBES TECHNICAL COLLEGE COMMUNITY, RESERVATION COMMUNITIES AND TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.
