Today, we celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day by visiting the First Americans Museum!

Our clients loved watching the dances and learning more about the indigenous cultures of Oklahoma.

Sisu’s campus sits on Kiowa, Osage, Wichita, Comanche, and Kickapoo land. We encourage you to learn whose land you live on, support indigenous artists and creatives, donate to organizations working to protect their sovereignty and heritage, and uplifting indigenous voices today and every day.

Recently, our team spent two full days learning an approach called Family and Natural Supports (FNS) from Heidi Walter of A Way Home Canada, one of the organizations that developed the framework.
