St. Joseph's Indian School - Cultural Preservation Fund

http://stjo.org
A wacipi -- powwow -- is a Native American gathering focused on dance, song and family celebration. Powwows celebrate the connections to tradition and spirituality, to the Earth and to one another in a social, personal and spiritual meeting.

Cultural education at St. Joseph's Indian School provides the youngsters at our school with the tools to preserve their proud culture -- to learn about their heritage and to build a bright future.

As Lakota (Sioux) elders pass on, cultural education becomes more important than ever.

My heart breaks when I think of what has been done to the Native Americans over the years. All of us who are not "native" to America should feel ashamed. There are only a few schools such as St. Jo's who are trying to make a difference. That is why I am a regular contributor to this school. Others should take these children to their hearts and give contributions, no matter how small, on a continuing basis.
