Its purpose is to increase economic and social viability among those people living on Native American reservations and other indigenous peoples who are redeveloping a relationship with family and tribal members after a long absence from long term unemployment.

REAP’s intention is to develop training and other support for establishing worker owned cooperatives and knowledge teams for greenhouse construction and operation, fresh nutritionally dense food production and distribution to consumers on and outside indigenous lands in America and in developing countries. REAP intends to develop cooperative ecosystems also in housing, renewable energy, tool making and transportation repair and building, and clothing resale and construction. This will create a small scale economy for a regions basic needs sustainably.
