A Native American tribe in North Dakota is planning a sprawling greenhouse complex on its reservation.
This aerial photo shows the first phase of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation's Native Green Grow greenhouse operation on May 15, 2024, near Parshall, N.D. The greenhouse is planned for growing large quantities of leafy greens and vine crops for exports, distribution on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, to other tribes in neighboring states and food banks for isolated and impoverished areas.
Getting fresh produce has long been a challenge in the area of western North Dakota where the tribe is based, on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The rolling, rugged landscape — split by Lake Sakakawea — is a long drive from the state's biggest cities, Bismarck and Fargo. “We have always been a very independent, sovereign people that have been able to hunt, gather, grow and feed ourselves, and forces have intervened over the last century that have disrupted those independent food resources, and it made it very challenging. But the desire and goal has always been there,” said Thompson, whose tribal affiliation is Cheyenne River Sioux.
North Dakota Pipeline Authority Director Justin Kringstad said that key to capturing the gas is building needed infrastructure, as the MHA Nation intends to do.
