Our Lakota Advocacy Center is developing the collective voice of our people by relearning and propagating traditional ecological teachings, conducting and sharing climate change research, and training advocates to support community-led, effective and informed action.

Our Lakota Land Systems Initiative is a multifaceted set of programs and partnerships working together to create a sustainable and viable food system on the Pine Ridge Reservation. 

Through educational and community based systems that are founded in Lakȟóta thought, language and lifeways, our Lakȟóta Language and Education Initiative envisions reclaiming, restoring, and sustaining our language and lifeways.

Our Regenerative Community Development Initiative ensures that the physical spaces where our liberation and healing occur meet our community’s vision for a healthy, innovative, and culturally appropriate built environment rooted in our Lakota way of life.

Our Youth Leadership Development Initiative cultivates opportunities for Lakota youth that enhance leadership skills, promote personal and community wellbeing, and sustain culture and spirituality in order to guide generations of our youth toward an awakening of self-determination, self-sufficiency, and ultimately liberation.
