We work from a model of reciprocity as informed by 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  ​
