Lower Sioux Indian Community opens new plant to construct homes with ‘hempcrete’
By Chandra Colvin, MPR News
The Lower Sioux Indian Community has opened a new facility to turn hemp into a home insulation material known as “hempcrete.” The tribe hopes to build an industry with the help of a wider group of farmers and address a housing shortage for its citizens.
Hempcrete is made from the woody core of hemp — called hurd — lime and water. It’s material that former tribal council member Earl Pendleton has researched for several years to provide “safer and healthier” homes to members of the tribal community.
He says hempcrete does not use carbon-based products that contribute to the problem of greenhouse gases. The material also avoids toxic substances that may be found in manufactured building materials.
