This $200,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Tribal Colleges Extension Program - Special Emphasis (TCEP-SE) will enable Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College (NHSC), a 1994 Land Grant Tribal College, to expand the reach of its agriculture extension services to remote and underserved tribal communities. The key products and services to be delivered under this 24-month project include:
-
Offering informal equine education and community equine activities, including therapeutic riding, to participants of all ages and abilities in the remote Twin Buttes community of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation.
-
Expanding the capacity and reach of NHSC's agriculture department recruitment efforts for equine education programs.
The project will be led by the NHSC Agriculture Director and an Outreach Specialist based in the remote Twin Buttes community, with full administrative support from the college. The activities align with NHSC's mission and the goals of its agriculture and equine studies departments to serve tribal communities.
