Positive COVID-19 cases have been remaining low, so the Tribe has been easing their restrictions. Thus, we have been increasing our in-person ministry efforts again while maintaining safety protocols with masks, social distancing, and minimal people indoors for gatherings.
We celebrate the youths' birthdays at the end of each month offering a gift and cupcakes to everyone. This always brings a smile to the family and young ones.
We have teenager's work with the youth as mentors themselves. Sometimes it’s easier for children and youth to open and relate to youth closer to their age and living in similar circumstances.
This brings us to being trained as Coaches in the Encircled Method where we will support youth to discover their gifts, develop their vision and plan, encourage their spiritual identity, and encircle them with a supportive group from the community that will be with them through the difficult and celebratory times.
Thank you everyone for your continued support and prayers...it means a lot to us, for we are in this together.
Takoje Wachi Oyate (Grandchildren’s Dance Society):
The Grandchildren's Dance Society provides opportunities for the children who attend Kids Time and Pre-teen time to learn about Traditional Lakota Dancing and get to practice the different dances and aspects of a Traditional Powwow. Once a month the dancers visit the Oglala Sioux Lakota Nursing Home and put on a powwow for the elders.
