The Oyate Omniciye | Oglala Lakota Plan is a collaboration between the tribal government, non-government tribal organization, and others. It is about working together to shape the future of the Oglala Lakota Nation.
The goal of the plan is to embody the voice of the people. It is intended to define the oyate’s vision for the future of the Oglala Lakota Nation. We need your voice to make this plan a success. We want you to shape this plan, which will shape the world in which your children and grandchildren live. Learn more about how to get involved here.
The Oyate Omniciye | Oglala Lakota Plan is made possible by a grant from the United States federal government called the sustainable communities grant. Learn more about the sustainable communities grant here. Thunder Valley CDC won this grant and is leading the planning process. Even before Thunder Valley received the grant, they began to engage partner organizations from around the reservation to begin planning for the future.
