“Anthony Tamez-Pochel is a co-founder of Chi-Nations Youth Council and First Nations Garden, a green space aimed at giving native communities a place to connect with the land and facilitate building relationships.
The 21-year-old, who is First Nations Cree and Sicangu Lakota, uses green spaces to connect native and non-native locals with their surrounding land in Chicago. After forming the Chi-Nations Youth Council to pass down traditions with his friends, he helped launch the First Nations Garden in 2019.
“The Chi-Nations Youth Council was started in 2012 with the mission to create a safe space for Native youth through arts, activism and education. We do a lot of environmental work, connecting the residents of the city of Chicago to the land that they’re living on,” Tamez-Pochel told In The Know. “
