Since 1993, Native American Heritage Association worked with Lakota (Sioux) Reservations strengthening the Native
American Communities & families one member at a time. The challenges we face are difficult because on the Reservations
unemployment rates are at 70%, 70% have no transportation, the average life expectancy is 45 years of age, infant mortality is 10 times the national average and 31% of Native American children under the age of 4 are obese because of lack of proper nutrition. 

 Today, St. Labre Indian School offers preschool through high school education for Crow and Northern Cheyenne children. Combined enrollment at all three campuses is nearly 700 children and continues to grow.

 

 

Our primary goal at the Southwest Indian Foundation is to lessen the poverty and unemployment among the Native Americans of the Southwest, specifically members of the Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, Laguna, Acoma, and Apache tribes. Through self-help initiatives and charitable donations, we are attempting to restore dignity and self-reliance to these native peoples.

Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds  Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me.  I come to you as one of your many children. I am small and weak.  I need your strength and wisdom.  May I walk in beauty.  Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.  Make my hands respect the things you have made.  And my ears sharp to your voice.  Make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught your children.  The lessons you have written in every leaf and rock  Make me strong!
Not to be superior to my brothers, but to fight my greatest enemy....myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes, So that when life fades as the fading sunset, May my spirit come to you without shame.
