Programs and Success Stories

The Winter Ready program is a winter gear readiness program. All students who attend participating schools are able to receive warm winter wear for the upcoming season.

The After School Food Program is a keystone to building food resource security. Our participating schools are able to build and maintain on site food lodges for students and the community. As a result of our program with partner schools reading comprehension rates have doubled and attendance is at record highs. 

Wokini, in our Lakota Language, means new beginnings. This last autumn we established a small herd in the Wind River Basin. This herd is the foundation of building food sovereignty and security for our after school food program and re-establishing cultural food systems.
