Partnerships with local leaders drove us to support more than a hundred people in Pine Ridge Reservation to receive training in practical neuroscience.

Oglala Lakota Nation faces significant challenges, the result of centuries of prejudice and disinvestment. Practical neuroscience can help people face these challenges head on, reinforcing a strong and powerful history with culturally coherent teachings. Weekly meetings and meditations form further community and can help the life-changing lessons to persist.
Partnering with Local Leaders and Groups
Oglala Lakota are a proud people with a rich history. We partner with Lakota leaders and Lakota-led groups to ensure our work fits culturally and properly addresses the needs of a people that have faced centuries of oppression. We encourage you to also support our partners who are also working to change systemic barriers from poverty to education to discriminatory policies.
