One Spirit

ONE Spirit is a Native American service organization founded to assist and support American Indians. At present, our focus are the Lakota Sioux of Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota. 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.
