“WoLakota” implies balance and coming together. The WoLakota project supports students in high-need schools, pairing trained mentor-teachers with new teachers and providing Courage to Teach circles to tend to the ʻheartsʼ of each. Mentors support the embedding of the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings (OSEU) into practice, complementing the Common Core. The OSEU address the achievement gap of American Indian students by embracing their identity, and promote cultural understanding among non-native students and teachers. Lakota Elder Dottie LeBeau states, “When we approach teaching with one worldview…we create systems of failure in our schools.”
WoLakota closes the circle into a system of understanding and success.
The WoLakota Project is a partnership between TIE and the SD Department of Education

How great is that? She nailed it exactly. As a matter of fact, a large number of the Sioux families I knew on the CRS rez had French last names. So she obviously nailed it.
I met her and Dave Bald Eagle a few years ago. They are such wonderful, truly good and caring people!! I feel privileged to have spent some time there at the ranch!! My sister just finished writing a book about them and it is at the publishers right now. Watch for it. I don't know what the title is yet but her name is Diane Marguard.
Is the book out yet
Josie you are quite correct.I am also a descendant of a first nation in south Africa the Khoisan people and the griqua clan.We also suffered of the despossesion of our land and also had a Trail of tears over the mountains. Today we have nothing
I agree with you sister about the ethnic background when I was in 4th grade a teacher asked me what my ethnicity was Ibhad no Idea what she meant, and asked her what she meant she said where are you from? and I said America and most of the class laughed along with the teacher at me. Then one day I was surfing with my cousin on the Oregon coast and even though we had wet suits my cousin went Hypothermic, so I built a fire, and a guy came up angry yelling how all us tourist take all the good stuff, I had been surfing there more than 10 years already and surfed there almost every weekend, I tried to tell him a person was Hypothermic and needed a quick fire I was even hugging my cousin when he walked up, and he got more mad, and asked where are you from I told him the same place he is from planet Earth, and chased him off.
That Fall the surf came up to 25 foot tall waves and I decided to go for it any ways I caught one wave and called it good I was watching the surf from shore and I watched as a man from way down the beach walked towards me when he got to me it was that same guy and he walked right up offered to shake my hand and thanked me, I said for what and he said for teaching me we are all from here and all the same aren't we were all from planet Earth, I just nodded and asked him how the surf was for him. Much love
Well said. I didn't even know I had any Native American blood until well into my 20s. My grandmother was embarrassed to say she was from an Indian Reservation in Arizona. She even went so far as to take Mexican citizenship as a child, because she felt more at home there than in the U.S.
You are absolutely right. I am part Blackfoot and part French. I certainly think the same way as you. Bless you and yours Aho.🐞🦬🐢
If you keep people divided they are easier to control. I think it’s as simple as that, because they look at each other as the problem instead of the people running the show.
