Diné Skate Garden Project

Orenda Tribe and Jewel are honored to present the Diné Skate Garden Project a project of love for the community of Toadlena or rather “Tóhaaliní” (Where the Water flows Out) located in the Two Grey Hills/Toadlena chapter of the Navajo Nation. This is a remote community nestled in the Chuska Mountains between Shiprock and Gallup, that has no outdoor sport recreational facilities. With your help, in Fall 2021 we’ll start building a skate park, that honors and respects Diné culture, the land, and the community. In collaboration with Two Grey Hills/Toadlena Chapter Officials and community members, and guided by the expertise of https://wondersaroundtheworld.org/ and their internationally renowned construction team, this skate park is set to complete by year end.

In Spring 2022 we’ll plant seeds of the future and expand the space with a community garden practicing traditional agriculture and harvesting which promotes food sovereignty and reintroduces ancestral crops in a healing gathering space for the community. The landscape architecture will reflect the rich heritage this community has, as the most celebrated area of Navajo Weaving.

Along with Jewel’s https://inspiringchildren.org/ and our friends from https://wondersaroundtheworld.org/ our goal is to build a transformative space for Diné youth and their families. We want to support this remote indigenous community, by providing a safe and inclusive public skatepark to empower strength and resilience after the hardships faced during this pandemic.

Our goal is to raise 100K in funding to start the build in September, so please help us AMPLIFY this project of love for our future generations.
