The Winter Camp program reimagines the Lakota model of problem-solving and community building in today’s world by examining the deeper reasons why Lakota people do things the way they do and why they interact with the universe around them. In partnership with various individuals and groups, we hold monthly community gatherings that will include combinations of workshops, presentations, readings, exhibits, and other cross-sector and holistic learning opportunities at Racing Magpie or in a virtual setting.
These events will function under Lakota cultural goals of sharing, cultural vitality, and community building, with at least one monthly activity geared towards youth participants and one towards a general audience. Events will be free to the public with limited space available and will target Lakota community members as both presenters and attendees. For the foreseeable future, the events will be shown virtually through Zoom and/or Facebook Live for maximum safety and accessibility.
Learn more and register on our Facebook page or our website. Registration is required to join on Zoom, or you can catch the live stream on Facebook without registration. If you are joining in person, all are welcome and masks are highly recommended for community care.
Support for the Winter Camp program is generously provided through a grant from the South Dakota Arts Council. South Dakota Arts Council support is provided with funds from the State of South Dakota, through the Department of Tourism, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
