The nonprofit foundation Make it Right, founded by Brad Pitt, has entered into a partnership with the Sioux and Assiniboine tribes of Fort Peck, Montana, to build sustainable homes, buildings, and communities on their reservation.
In addition to twenty LEED Platinum certified homes, the project will develop a master plan for the entire reservation, which covers thousands of acres and will be the new home for more than 6,000 Americans.
Founded in 2007, the Make It Right Foundation was established to provide housing for those in need. All Make it Right projects are inspired by Cradle to Cradle and designed by renowned architects in collaboration with the involved community.
For the current project, 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 beginning development of their designs.
