Great Plain Action Society’s

Indigenous-led Urban Resilience & Innovation Hub

A living workshop for
justice, healing, and economic reimagining!

Great Plains Action Society (GPAS) is turning 1.05 acres of historically colonized and unhealthy land into a living workshop for justice, healing, and economic reimagining!

Located in Iowa City, this hub will host:

  • A center for First Foods farming & prairie restoration

  • A healing justice house for all with a focus on BIPOC & 2SLGBTQ+ communities

  • Entrepreneurial launch pads for BIPOC-owned small businesses

  • A center community building with classrooms, a teaching kitchen, art room and event space

  • A mutual aid café with pay-what-you-can pricing

  • A matriarchal, regenerative space rooted in Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)

This is not just land back — it’s ReMatriation. It’s replacing extractive capitalism with compassion, community, and Indigenous futurism created by matriarchal thinking.

GPAS is currently raising 500K to renovate and retrofit the buildings — and every dollar brings us closer to a world where land heals, communities thrive, and justice blooms.

When Indigenous folks steward,
Land heals.  

When matriarchal values guide, Communities thrive.  

When mutual aid replaces monopoly, Justice blooms.
