I want to Thank everyone who has visited and liked our page. We are reaching out to people in hopes of bringing in volunteers knowledgeable in areas of Lakota Culture, Lakota Plants and Foods, Lakota Storytelling, Lakota Star Knowledge, Sacred Sites, Treaties, and also Lakota Arts and Crafts to share with our young people. We offer sewing classes and wood working for our youth as well. We have summer camp and would like volunteer chaperone’s, cooks, fire keepers and help in setting up and taking down the camp. We are hoping to bring in youth who want to help with community services like cleaning up, mowing lawns and weeds. We work with youth 5 years to 26 years of age. If you are interested please give me a call at 605-407-8442.
