SUMMER HAS BEEN BUSY!
Hello, One Spirit supporters! We are so happy to have another round of updates for you. It has been a very busy summer and so many wonderful things have happened in the last few weeks!
NEW BASKETBALL COURT OPENS THIS WEEKEND!
We are so THRILLED to announce that the new WITA NAJIIN RECREATIONAL PARK AND MEMORIAL GARDEN is going to be officially open on JULY 22! This project has been in the works for many years and we are happy to say that the community of Allen will have a beautiful and safe place to play very soon. WITA NAJIIN means STANDING TOGETHER in Lakota. This basketball court will serve as a place where family and friends can spend some quality time together, cheer each other on, and have fun.
Another important aspect of this new area is the Memorial Garden. This is a place where friends and family will be able to pay respects for their lost loved ones and share precious memories of them. We hope that this garden becomes a treasured piece of the Allen community and it serves the Lakota people well.
We would like to invite YOU to the Grand Opening of the WITA NAJIIN RECREATIONAL PARK AND MEMORIAL GARDEN! If you are near the community of Allen, we would love to see you on July 22nd at 11AM! There will be food, fun, and a special dedication.
If you can't join us in person, make sure to follow us on social media to see special pictures and videos from the event!
HORSE SPIRIT CAMP TEACHES IMPORTANT VALUES
Last weekend was an exciting time for 20 local children who were able to attend a camp session put on by Horse Spirit Society. Founded by Percy White Plume, Horse Spirit Camp aims to teach critical values such as self-confidence and self-respect.
"Our children suffer many hardships. Over time, their spirits are no longer with them. They don't act like little children anymore. They're scared. They don't know what's coming next or where their food is going to come from. The horses take away the fear," Percy says. "Their self-esteem goes up. It gives them confidence. There's a change that happens. They're more willing to talk. They were fearful and timid but now they're laughing and talking to everyone."
One Spirit has been happy to provide the money for each camper to have this special experience. We look forward to do so again in the future.

CAMP MARROWBONE WAS A HUGE HIT
Thanks to our generous supporters and donors, we were able to send 24 campers to YMCA Camp Marrowbone over the course of two 5–day sessions.
The children that attended Camp Marrowbone were able to participate in water sports, arts and crafts, and spend quality time with each other in the great outdoors. Camp Marrowbone also focuses on Lakota values and traditions and teaches valuable lessons to campers as they try new things and meet new people.
Our campers had an amazing time and want to thank our donors again for your support this summer.

Young Adults are Making Memories During Employment Program
There are 14 young adults in the One Spirit Employment Program spread out across the country. They have bravely left home for the summer to gain work experience and immerse themselves in a new culture as well as spread awareness of what it's like living on Pine Ridge. We are happy to report that they are having a great time!
The group of girls in Hampton Beach, NH have been exploring the local beaches and taking in the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. They were also recently honored by the local government in appreciation for their courage and willingness to share their stories and culture with the community. There was even an article written in the local news about them! You can read it HERE.
The crew in Minnesota have been enjoying the great outdoors as well, but they are enjoying the local lake instead! Working at the Trail Center Lodge and other local favorites has given them the opportunity to develop relationships with the locals as well as tourists from all over the country.
It has been amazing to see this program grow and expand to what it is today. Every participant becomes equipped with job skills and social experiences that will stay with them for many years to come. It is our hope that participants will take these new skills and perspectives home to Pine Ridge and help the community grow and thrive.

Lunches at Allen Youth Center Continue and Food Pantries are Expanding
Due to schools still being out for the summer, the Allen Youth Center is still proudly serving hot, nutritious lunches to any child that needs it.
Throughout the school year, many of the local children receive a free lunch at school. This meal is often the best quality meal of their day. Sometimes, it is their only meal of the day.
Providing healthy food to people in need has been an integral part of One Spirit's mission since it's founding in 2005.
In addition to lunches at the Allen Youth Center, several new food pantries are in the works to help combat the critical need for food on the reservation. These new pantries are similar to the current pantry in Allen – a repurposed shipping container that has been remodeled with shelves and refrigeration so that all kinds of food can be held inside.
It is important to us that everyone who visits a One Spirit Food Pantry can do so with dignity and assurance that whatever they take home is high quality and will serve their family well. We are always accepting donations to keep these pantries stocked so that we can feed as many families as possible. The best way to ensure we are always well–stocked is to commit to monthly donations. That way we can always fill our shelves and in turn, fill hungry bellies.
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ONE SPIRIT FOOD PROGRAM HERE
As always, we want to extend a huge LILA PILAMAYAYE to all of you - our incredible supporters and donors. Without you, none of this would be possible.
Today we want to encourage you to follow our social media accounts to see special updates and stories and to tell your friends about One Spirit! The more awareness we can bring about the critical need for basic necessities on Pine Ridge Reservation, the more we can help the community.
Additionally, you can commit to monthly donations to One Spirit to help ensure that all of our programs are able to operate all year long.

More about our AITC Host - Choctaw Country, Durant, Oklahoma
Image provided by Choctaw Country
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma is a federally recognized Native American tribe located in Southeastern Oklahoma. The 10,922 square mile reservation is larger than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a total population similar to Buffalo, NY. The Choctaw Nation is the third largest tribe in the US with over 200,000 tribal citizens living all over the world. The area economy has historically been dominated by cultivation and extraction of natural resources including fossil fuels, aggregate, and timber. The fertile soil makes the area ideal to multiple crops for harvest and grazing livestock. Oklahoma's #1 aggregate export and #1 grain import locations are both located in the reservation and over 80% of Oklahoma's timber harvest comes from three counties in the reservation.
The leisure and hospitality sector has grown considerably over the last 20 years. Between gaming and resort investments made by the tribe and the short term rental investments made by individuals, there are no indications that the sector will slow in the near future.
Investments within the reservation increase economic viability and sustainability, as well as create long-term growth for the Choctaw Nation. Business and economic development expands on the Tribe's internal resources to build stronger policies and remove barriers for future growth. Opportunities, projects and services have a direct and positive impact on the lives of tribal members and are respectful of the historical and cultural concerns of the Nation.

Patricia Locke Foundation has been approved for a $25,000 Grants dor Arts Projects award from the National Endowment for Arts (NEA) to support the North American Indigenous Flute Revitalization Initiatives. This project has a two–pronged goal of: 1) providing workshops to make flutes with authentic and original Indigenous tuning, and teaching traditional songs to children and youth in school settings; 2) creating online educational content with North American Indigenous Flute Songs and Their Meanings. Patricia Locke Foundation’s project is among 1,130 projects in the USA, totaling more than $31 million, that were selected during this second round of Grants for Arts Projects fiscal year 2023 funding.
"The National Endowment for the Arts is pleased to support a wide range of projects, including the Patricia Locke Foundation’s North American Indigenous Flute Workshops, demonstrating the many ways the arts enrich our lives and contribute to healthy and thriving communities," said NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD. "These organizations play an important role in advancing the creative vitality of our nation and helping to ensure that all people can benefit from arts, culture, and design."
"Patricia Locke Foundation follows the guiding inspiration derived from Tȟokéya Inážiɳ – Kevin Locke, the Founding President of our organization. This support from the prestigious National Endowment for the Arts comes as a testament to the timely importance of continuing the lifelong work and legacy of Kevin Locke, in raising awareness of the North American Indigenous Flute which, through his advocacy, was recently recognized as the official state musical instrument by the South Dakota State Legislature, "said co–President Ts'e Itzoh–Louise Profeit–LeBlanc. "We are delighted that the National Endowment for the Arts recognizes the value of passing this authentic musical genre on to children and youth of North America as the rightful heirs of this homegrown tradition, and thank the Endowment for supporting our foundation's engagement in releasing the society-building influence of cultural arts on Turtle island, " added co–President, Marylou Miller.

NATIVE GIVING DAY
We're excited for the official Oglala Lakota Artspace Grand Opening! As the big day draws near, we invite you to make a difference in the lives of Native communities by supporting First Peoples Fund and the Oglala Lakota Artspace (OLA) during the second annual Native Nonprofit Day on May 19th, 2023.
Native causes receive less than 1% of all charitable giving in the United States, despite facing some of the most significant inequities in the country. At First Peoples Fund, we are committed to promoting equity and justice for Native communities through grantmaking, technical assistance, and professional development programs for artists and culture bearers.
By donating to the Oglala Lakota Artspace on Native Nonprofit Day, you will help continue to uplift and empower Native communities and preserve their art, culture, and traditions. This vital initiative provides year-round arts and culture programming, studio and production spaces, and business and financial services to Indigenous artists.
Your generosity will significantly impact the lives of those we serve, and we are immensely grateful for your support.

Dear Warrior Women Community,
As we come to the end of the 72 day stretch marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Wounded Knee 1973, we are filled with gratitude for the outpouring of support from everyone who helped make our work around this historic event possible. The participation and dedication of our community was critical in making our Interactive Oral History Exhibit a success, and we are proud to stand with you in honoring the powerful legacy and continuing work of Indigenous women-led activism.
The events on the ground in South Dakota proved to be a powerful experience for us to be together, and to honor and learn from women who stood strong during the Wounded Knee occupation. For those who could not attend, we invite you to visit our website – warriorwomen.org/wk50 – to experience our interactive oral history exhibit and panel excerpts. And stay tuned – there's more to come and we are excited to keep sharing this vital work with you.
As you know, we cannot do this work alone. Your support is crucial to ensuring that the histories of solidarity based efforts of Indigenous Matriarchs continue to be heard and celebrated. As promised when we launched the fundraising effort for this event back in January, we drew the names of three donors who donated $50 or more at random for a headband giveaway.
We are emailing winners individually, so look out for another email this week!
Please consider making a donation to the Warrior Women Project at warriorwomen.org/donate. Every contribution, no matter how small, goes right back into the very work you see on our website, our live events, and on social media.
Thank you again for your support, and for standing with us in this important work.
With gratitude,
The Warrior Women Project team
