         John Dubray – "One Spirit" www.nativeprogress.org

The ONE Spirit Mission is to assist the Lakota people in preserving and revitalizing the Lakota culture, language, and self-sufficiency while meeting the basic needs of Lakota families, children, and elders. We strive to cultivate an intercultural relationship that recognizes that we are all related and that American Indians are an equal and valued part of our society.

         Pass Creek Annual Wacipi

An annual powwow held in Allen.  This powwow, like all others, involves singing, dancing, and a positive social setting to visit relatives and enjoy the music and dance.  All ages participate.

         Sundance

There are numerous Sundance’s within the Pass Creek District, all which involve a lot of youth and people.  Sundance’s provide a positive place to learn, pray, and help each other.

                                   

Negative

There are very limited miles of paved roads especially leading into the Allen area.

Need to protect historic site, Charging Crow Dam and the old CCC Dam at Yellow Bear

Roads are in terrible condition – need maintenance

Nearest clinic is 20 miles away – Kyle Clinic (not open on weekends)

                No fire department
