]]>“The Standing Rock Medicine Wheel Living Park was created in 2009 and is a grassroots organization dedicated to renewing cultural values and creating sustainable, regenerative living practices on the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation.
The Park serves as a facilitator in the study of the elements of creation and how we can combine modern teachings and sustainability practices with ancient Indigenous cultural knowledge to create a better understanding of the Natural World….
The Park is designed to help break the vicious cycle of learned dependency of growing up in an impoverished area, to encourage sobriety, and be an avenue for community members and others to learn the basics about Natural Law and how to connect with it, Indigenous culture, and sustainable living practices, such as gardens, green-building, renewable energies and technology. The Park works to create opportunities for healing that can help fulfill the fundamental need of people to live in a healthy environment with eco-friendly practice…”
“It is the Lakota tradition to give away the first of everything you ‘make’. For example: the planting of our first garden, we gave all the vegetables away by going door-to-door. You make a pair of earrings and gift the first pair you make. In this tradition we are “giving away” our event. But through giving away, we need support and ask for your loving donation to help support this 1st year Summer Solstice Celebration, money goes towards the event to support our presenters/speakers, through lodging and travel, and an honorarium for our local presenters/speakers. All other donations and sponsorships goes towards equipment to maintain and supplies to continue expansion of the Medicine Wheel Living Park.
Wo Pila Thanka”
