Cultural Immersions
Cultural immersions are visiting groups who come to learn about Lakota history and culture from the Lakota people. We strive to provide programming and presentations that foster mutual conversations and greater understanding of each other. While Immersions are on hold because of COVID we are updating the center to be ready for our guests to return.

Homeless Shelter - Day Shelter
Working with multiple partners we utilize our location and building to provide a safe, warm place for the homeless community. The center is used as a day shelter offering showers, laundry, support, food, and fellowship. We prepare most meals for the shelter's lunches and dinners.
