Susanville Indian Rancheria

The Susanville Indian Rancheria will improve the educational enrichment opportunities at the library and education center through excellent after-school tutoring and summer programming for transitional kindergarten through twelfth grade. Student activities will include explorations of native art and the growing of food and herbal medicines. The gardening activity will encourage learning about the Native plants that sustained the cultures of the four distinct anthropological groups that make up the Susanville Indian Rancheria with food and medicines. Learning how to grow their own produce not only cultivates a life skill students can take with them, but also provides live visuals for things only read about in textbooks.
