Lakota Circles of Hope
Rapid City, SD

With an innovative, culturally-specific prevention curriculum and community activities, South Dakota children in grades 2-5 on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations will learn how to live a healthy lifestyle based on their Lakota tradition and values. Lakota educators and elders adapted best-practice models to address the needs of students in reservation schools. The students will learn how their traditional Lakota values such as respect, generosity, fortitude, wisdom and bravery can help them make healthy decisions, resist peer pressure, abstain from substance abuse and avoid violence. Project staff will also work with other community providers, parents and leaders to offer youth and family events to reinforce the classroom-based curriculum.
