Native Lakota and non-Native people working and playing together; honoring indigenous wisdom, reconciling the complicated history we share and co-creating mutual understanding and humane, desirable living conditions on Pine Ridge and surrounding reservations.
About Us:
We are a community of Native Lakota and non-Natives who believe that the wisdom, culture and traditions of the Native people can inform and benefit the Modern World at the same time that the Modern World can empower and support the Lakota in creating more prosperous and humane living conditions on the reservations.
Through a variety of collaborative projects and events, we strive to build alliances and strengthen communities for people both on and off the reservation. Our volunteer groups work alongside the Lakota People on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota to ease conditions of poverty, ride horses together, reconcile the past and learn about one another’s cultures. Additionally, the Lakota People travel to Colorado -and nationally- with the Tipi Raisers to share their wisdom, culture and traditions.
