Hello!

We have a recent update we would like to share with everyone! Just a short-week ago the Oyate Omniciye Planning Team was very fortunate to be part of the 2011 Oglala Lakota Nation Climate Change Summit! This event took place at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Headquarters in Kansas City, MO on September 21st & 22nd.

Climate change is an important and very hot topic!  The people that attended learned about how the climate is changing, how the climate change going to affect our region (Pine Ridge Reservation), and how to prepare for these climate changes,  Stemming from this awesome two-day summit was the need to have another "Oglala Lakota Nation Climate Change Summit" closer to our home (Pine Ridge Reservation) to not only educate all our relatives but to get their input and ideas on Climate Change! The date was set for sometime in the month of January 2012 at Rapid City.  The location and exact time will be broadcasted once finalized!
