Mission Statement
We help the Lakota meet their basic needs and provide a culturally rich life for their youth. Our programs promote an intercultural relationship that recognizes that we are all related and that American Indians are an equal and valued part of our society. The goal of all programs is to reduce or eliminate hunger, to replace the high drop out and suicide rates among youth with an enthusiasm for learning and a pride in their Lakota heritage, and to provide protection from the winter cold that can drop to 40 below zero.
About This Cause
One Spirit is an All-Volunteer organization founded in 2005 to support the efforts of the Lakota on Pine Ridge Reservation to care for their people. We are supported primarily through individual donations with occasional small grants from corporations. More than 30 staff work full time to manage food, heat, youth and sponsorship programs. We Believe That: 1. on planet Earth, we are all related. 2. we can help break the cycle of poverty by strengthening families, promoting economic development and educational opportunities, and providing programs that bring hope to young Native Americans. 3. programs that strengthen families and assist them in the protection of their children from the harsh effects of hunger and cold can change what has become a legacy of poverty and addiction.
