WELCOME TO THE TIPI RAISERS

In direct partnership with our Native relatives, we engage youth and volunteers of all ages as we address conditions of poverty on Native reservations, amplify Indigenous wisdom and create unique opportunities for reconciliation and youth development.

​We are a multi-cultural and intergenerational community in which an exchange of courageous conversations and mutual understanding are emphasized, inevitably leading to deeper understanding of our shared humanity and an organic evolution of friendship and respect across cultures and lines of difference.

OUR VISION:

We envision a future where children are thriving in interconnected and culturally rooted communities.

OUR MISSION: 
​
​We establish diverse coalitions of partners to alleviate poverty in Native communities, empower youth, create opportunities for reconciliation, and honor Indigenous wisdom.

​This is why all Tipi Raiser's events, service trips and activities are offered free of charge. We trust that those who join us will receive the gift that is inherent in their experience and that they will give back to the best of their ability - in this way,
we can all stay in balance. 

"When everything has a monetary value, the commoditization of human life begins -- society loses the Sacred and human life starts to cannibalize itself."    - Basil Brave Heart  ​
