Primatologist Jane Goodall visited the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota for a second time on Monday.
Goodall spoke to students about her Roots & Shoots gardening program. "We need the natural world," she said, The Rapid City Journal reported.
More than 200 Pine Ridge students have been participating in Roots & Shoots on the reservation. They have planted four gardens in Kyle and others in Potato Creek, Wanblee and Martin, using the food for a farmers' market and a giveaway for elders.
Goodall first visited the reservation in 2005.
