Beyond #NoDAPL: Self-Determination and “Traditional” Education

Celebrate Waní-Wí-Ipȟá – “Winter Solstice” – with SAGE

Monday, December 21, at 11 am EST for: 

Beyond #NoDAPL: Self-Determination and “Traditional” Education – a conversation with the indigenous women who are leading the charge for self-determined education by teaching Native children the Native Way. 

The conversation is part of our monthly talk series titled For Generations to Come: Anpetu Wi Dialogues from Standing Rock. The talks in the series are devoted to raising awareness for Native American issues and our efforts to develop Anpetu Wi – a 235MW wind farm on our ancestral land at Standing Rock.

The talk will be followed by a live Q&A with the audience.

For the Lakota-Dakota people and many other indigenous cultures, the winter solstice is a sacred day of renewal, remembrance, and thanks. The solstice marks the beginning of the seasonal transition into Waníyetu “Winter,” a time during which many Lakota-Dakota people traditionally share Ohúŋkakaŋ “stories from the distant past” and Wičhówoyake “stories, legends, myth.” It is a day that many Lakota-Dakota will offer a prayer much in the same way their ancestors did.
