NativeGreen: Being a Good Steward of the Earth

Following the Dakota tradition of being a good steward of the earth, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community’s (SMSC) NativeGreen initiative promotes a greener, more sustainable planet for all—now and for generations to come—through conservation, stewardship, and self-sufficiency.

Use of treated wastewater from the SMSC’s Water Reclamation Facility is used to irrigate The Meadows at Mystic Lake and other landscaped areas, which has allowed the SMSC to reduce groundwater withdrawal by approximately 35 millions gallons a year. In addition, wildlife flock to the site of the treated water, relishing the temperate marsh during the cold Minnesota winter when most other water bodies are frozen. The wetlands provide a home for Canada geese, muskrats, and mallards.
