About Us

 

In the Spring of 2014, the lives of the 25,000+ citizens of Wyandotte, Michigan changed forever. A historic flooding of the Detroit River led to major devastation in the city. Most of the infrastructure, including the roads, public buildings, and residential households, were wiped out. Instead of moving away from their beloved hometown, the citizens of Wyandotte came together to re-build and re-create. They started by changing the name of the city to Ioskeha, named after the sun-god of the Iroquois, who orignially had a small village on the site. With the sun-god on their side, the citizens began promoting a green culture throughout the city through teaching and volunteering, as well as implementing green engineering in the re-building of the infrastructure of the city. While the city is still under construction, the changes that have already been have been favorable amongst the citizens and have set the example for other, potentially green communities to follow.
