Offer
Leading native ceremonies such as Sun Dance and sweat lodge / long house ceremonies allows our people to connect with spirit and ancestral traditions that impart a sense of belonging, pride and resilience. Our community gardens program on the reservation furthers their health and well-being by combatting the vast distances required to get to food outlets on the Pine Ridge reservation and to enjoy fresh, healthy food. My work is grounded in understanding the facts of history that have led to the dispossession of culture and daily life.
NEED
We need to identify the impact metrics that will motivate our community to participate in the program and the means to expand our communication with the population via our radio program (KILI radio) and other means such as flyers and an ongoing social media channel.
Call-to-Action
Help with outreach strategics and compelling communications.
