We try to explain the core vision of what we do.


Some of these photos include: Needles Highway in the Black Hills, which are sacred to the Tribes of the Great Plains; The great Lakota war leaders, headsmen and chiefs; Henry Red Cloud at the May 4th Visioning and Listening Session; our youth with their hands on the drum. These images evoke more than words can, they are part of us and more importantly, our dream for the future.

From your relative… it begins with a dream

This is a response to the invitation to the upcoming May 4th and May 5th “Visioning & Listening Sessions” and it is something to ponder:

Visioning and listening and expressing our self-being as Lakota people… the past, present and future and the interest of the Lakota people, young and old, on how they feel and what they express from within themselves, as spiritual being(s). Sometimes we forget the past because of so much hardship; the present because of the inconceivable; the future of looking at all the achievement that we cannot seem to hold in our hands right now for our Lakota people to build a better future and bring it forth.
Just a coincidence, I was just thinking about this morning, what can we do as Lakota people, to find that missing piece in our lives that we left forgotten?  I look at the children, all day long, and wonder ”Will there will be a better life, when my life has ended?” Every young and old should have the benefit to feel good one day and know that there is a chance to change their spiritual being to find place in the world and make a difference.
