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.
The Four Pillars of Our Mission:
The Tipi Raiser's Community is Grounded in Traditional Indigenous Values from the First Nations and Around the World:
While we offer all that we do free of charge and open to all, we need financial support to continue this work. You can make a tangible difference by ensuring that everyone who seeks a connection with our community and tribal partners can participate. We are grateful for your support.
"When a society loses the sacred - when everything has a monetary value, the commoditization of human life cannibalizes itself." Basil Brave Heart
In alignment with this Indigenous wisdom shared by our dear friend - and former Board President - Basil Brave Heart, all Tipi Raiser's events and programs - are FREE.We believe that those who join us in community receive the gift that is inherent in that experience and that they will give back to the best of their ability - in this way, we can all stay in balance.
The generosity of our partners, through donations and grants, funds our humanitarian aid, service trips, events and Gen7 youth initiatives.
