Make It Right is partnering with the Sioux and Assiniboine tribes of Fort Peck, Montana to build sustainable homes on their reservation. This year we will build the first twenty Cradle to Cradle-inspired, LEED Platinum homes for tribal members in need of housing. Currently, more than 600 people are waiting for homes.

Architects and designers from GRAFT, Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative, Architecture for Humanity, Method Homes and Living Homes spent four days meeting with tribal members before developing their designs.

Make It Right’s product partners – Shaw Floors, Cosentino, Benjamin Moore, Unico and Leviton – are generously donating building materials to this project and the people of Fort Peck.

See their beautiful designs below – and click here to support our work with Native American tribes.
