Wotakuye is a foundational Lak̇ota concept that recognizes we are related: all creatures and the earth, with each other and with the Source of life itself.
We seek more than a transaction with donors. We want allies and relatives who are united in creating a healing culture that benefits the Siċaŋġu Oyate and the world beyond. We are looking for relationship, in the deepest meaning of the word.
Join The Tiospaye, our monthly giving club
Monthly donations sustain our work and ensure we have a long term impact. When you commit to giving monthly, you become part of The Tiospaye.
Tiospaye refers to an extended family or kinship group. It encompasses not only immediate family but also wider kin not directly related by blood. The term emphasizes the interconnectedness and interdependence within the Lakota community. It's a crucial element of Lakota culture, emphasizing the importance of kinship, community, and mutual support.
