Strengthening the Support for Elders

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE 
​
  • Know how to live off the land.
  • Have the knowledge of healing
  • Are the most resilient population on Earth

"Wocekiya ki ecela-
Prayer 
is the only way."  

 

~Richard Two Dogs,

Oglala Lakota Spiritual Leader

The purpose of Strengthening the Support for Elders is to continue the actions and services Indigenous Response (LAKOTA RESPONSE TO COVID 19) carried out for our elders in the Oglala Lakota Nation and surrounding areas.  We want to continue to educate and provide information and resources of Lakota prevention healing services for the communities, Elderly population 60 years and older, in the Pine Ridge Reservation.   

​

There are over 3,500 elders who reside in the Pine Ridge Reservation. They are in need of basic living supplies and services to help live a good quality life.  

 

Many of our tribal citizens are in the high risk category for health impacts, violence and abuse.  They are our oral historians, language speakers, and cultural educators.

​
