This site will introduce you to some of the issues and 
  problems facing the Lakota residents of the Pine Ridge
  reservation in South Dakota.

  The "for newcomers" link in the navigation area is a
  good place to begin.  You'll learn why we assist the
  Lakota, how we make a difference, and what brought 
  us to this path.

  We hope that after reading through the information
  here you will feel called to join us in making a
  difference in the lives of our Lakota friends.

  It will take us awhile to fully develop this site and we 
  are sure that along the way there will be many   
  additions and revisions. So please be patient with any 
  non-functional links or blank pages and do stay tuned
  for updates as we are sure there will be many in the  
  coming weeks.

  Thank you for visiting. Please come back again soon.
