The MWOG is a tool for education with academic disciplines such as Agriculture Science, Math, Biology,<br />
<strong>American</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> Religion, <strong>American</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> programs such as the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> Studies, <strong>American</strong> <strong>Indian</strong><br />
Students of Promise, and <strong>American</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> Work & Learning Community. The garden provides vegetables,<br />
fruits, nuts, healing plants, such as tobacco, cedar, sage, Echinacea, and other plants important to the local<br />
tribal communities. It is used for education, ceremonies, relaxation and eating healthy organic foods. We<br />
found that gardening can be a form of meditation, as well as healthy outdoor exercise.<br />
