Oceti Wakan

Oceti Wakan was created to help heal a community disproportionally impacted by illness, addiction, dismal economics conditions & historical trauma.

We are working to nurture the organic healing within and learn to walk in balance – Wolakota – a foundational cultural belief. To this end, we have developed a systematic K-12 prevention curriculum for optimal health and wellness using the sacred tool of the medicine wheel to educate, develop, and nurture equally the four aspects of a human being – we might also refer to them as our physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental bodies. Oceti Wakan serves the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota and other indigenous communities and is dedicated to healing and restoring traditional values which are rooted in the knowledge of our Ancestors. – Mitakuye Oyasin (All My Relations)
