Mission Statement
Through a variety of collaborative and multicultural projects, we strive to alleviate conditions of poverty, honor Indigenous wisdom, reconcile our shared history with the Peoples of the First Nations and empower youth with the leadership skills needed to affect social change in their communities.
Description
We invite you to join us here. To enjoy the beauty of the South Dakota prairie, the Arizona desert and clifsides --- the quiet and solitude away from modern day cities. We invite you to ride off trail on horseback with us -- and to watch buffalo herds move across the open prairie. We invite you to sleep in a tipi by a campfire and to let yourself be moved by young Lakota men playing ancient songs on the drum. Come listen to -- and talk with -- the Elders about their proud beliefs, traditions and culture.
For those who wish to be involved in helping to rebuild a community -- we invite you . . . and thank you for your willingness to help.
For those of you who wish to ride horses, camp, participate in community service and participate in a traditional community -- we welcome and invite you.
You will learn a great deal here --- about First Nation Tribes, the United States of America, its indigenous People, the land and also about yourself, we suspect. We welcome you in the best and most sacred traditions of the Indigenous People as you are a guest in our homes and on our land. And we thank you for bringing the gifts that you bring: Your willingness to help us, to share your stories, your time and your efforts.
Wopila (Thank you)
