Org->Social Services: Drive to help Lakota children of the Pine Ridge Reservation

"I went out there expecting — on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest — to see poverty at level 10," said Head Coach Jay Corwin. "But the poverty level on the Pine Ridge reservation would probably score a 50. It was nothing I ever imagined I'd see in the United States — not in my lifetime."

Corwin, a firefighter with Station 16 in Clifton, learned about the Lakota Tribe of the Pine Ridge Reservation while studying Native Americans. And once he did, he felt compelled to do something firsthand about their situation. So from April 1-6, he, Assistant Coach Bruce Thayer and 11 boys, age 13, lent a hand. And the experience changed them all.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - In this plain, white room at Albuquerque's Veteran Affairs Medical Center, many stories have been told; few of them have happy endings.

But the five veterans sitting in a circle facing each other are tied together by more than their unhappy tales.

Oklahoma Native veteran's organization offers resources to those that served.. KEYWORDS: National Native American Veterans Association native american veterans organization native veterans organization Oklahoma native veterans group

In October 2004 an entirely Native American Veterans Organization, the National Native American Veterans Association, began operations. The Association, headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK, is the first National Organization which has structured itself to work with both individual Native Veterans and Tribal Entities on a National basis.

It is the Association’s belief that every veteran deserves representation that understands and respect their unique needs and feels that Native American Veterans have long been overlooked in this regard. It hopes to fill the void by representing Native American Veterans with an emphasis on Native American Tradition and Heritage.

Org->Social Services: Mita Maske Ti Ki offers Refuge, Hope to Battered Women & Children
Posted on Thursday, December 27 @ 22:32:24 PST (6175 reads)

AUTHOR: Melanie Brandert
Argus Leader

According to a 1999 U.S. Department of Justice study on Native Americans and crime using statistics from 1992 to 1996, Native Americans are twice as likely to become victims of violence as the rest of the nation. Nearly 125 violent crimes are committed per 1,000 Native Americans, compared to 50 per 1,000 U.S. residents.

Shelter program officials statewide suggested a need for a shelter for minority women, said Verlaine Gullickson, co-director of the South Dakota Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault in Pierre. The group has founded and financially assisted shelters, such as Mita Maske Ti Ki (My Sister Friends' House), statewide.
