Rosebud Economic Development Corporation
The Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (REDCO) is revitalizing the economy of the Sicangu Lakota Oyate. As the economic development arm of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, we create Lakota-aligned enterprises and develop the leadership and workforce to run them.
Examples include the Wolakota Buffalo Range — a bison restoration project which is now home to the largest Native-managed herd in the world — and Keya Wakpala Woicageyapi — a 600-acre mixed use development that reimagines how our community lives, works, and plays.
Through efforts like this, we provide workforce pathways and human development opportunities. Over the past six years, REDCO’s ecosystem has created 60 jobs, offering employment that strengthens families by providing economic stability and self-sufficiency. We run training programs aimed at young people and emerging professionals, and also offer a paid language and cultural learning program.
Sacred Pipe Resource Center
The Sacred Pipe Resource Center helps build community by providing safe spaces for Indigenous people to more fully engage in civic, social, and economic endeavors.
Salish School of Spokane
Salish School of Spokane (SSOS) is a grass-roots organization governed and led by Native American people who want to reconnect with our traditional Salish language and culture. SSOS is not just a “school”. We are seeking justice and striving to strengthen our community using a schooling model. Just as the agents of genocide used residential boarding schools to break cultural and inter-generational connections among Salish people, we are using schooling, adult education and ceremony to rebuild those connections and ensure a better future for ourselves.
We operate a preschool and childcare center; private K-8 school; Salish Language Educator Development program; evening Salish language classes; language classes and enrichment programming for Native youth in grades 9-12; a Salish curriculum development program focusing on language acquisition, literacy, math and science materials, and; a program of technical support and training for other endangered language communities.
Seeds of Harmony, Inc.
Seeds of Harmony, Inc.’s mission is to care for the Earth, care for the People, and share the bounty. We will achieve this by empowering tribal communities to practice and maintain a sustainable and healthy way of life while learning from and teaching about local ecosystems as well as fostering respect and care for watersheds.
Sicangu Community Development Corporation
Sicangu CDC empowers people, strengthens families, and builds community — Lakota style — to build an equitable, regenerative world where the Sicangu Lakota and all our relatives can thrive.
Our work is focused on three main pillars of community development.
Food sovereignty: creating greater access to local, healthy foods and re-opening traditional indigenous foodways;
Health: culturally-relevant, community-based programs that offer wraparound wellness and health services to Native youth and their families;
Education: indigenizing educational delivery through the operation of the reservation’s only Lakota language immersion school.
Society of American Indian Dentists
SAID is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the unique needs of Indigenous dentists, while also increasing the number of Indigenous dentists in the United States.
Since its founding in 1990 with just a few members, SAID has promoted dental health in American Indian communities, encouraged AI/AN youth to pursue careers in the profession of dentistry, provided role-model leadership, and promoted and supported the unique concerns of AI/AN dentists. Membership has doubled over the last couple of years, and about half of those members are students pursuing a career in dentistry.
