PRESENTERS
- Dustina Gill – Nis’to Incorporated
DESCRIPTION
Nis’to Incorporated is a nonprofit serving Indigenous youth in Sisseton and the Lake Traverse Reservation. In Dakhotaiyapi, Nis’to is defined as “a concern for others outside of ourselves.” The youth at Nis’to learn both leadership and technical skills and are encouraged to express themselves through a variety of art forms. They sew, they paint, they write poetry, and play music–all cultural and strength-based approaches that reaffirm their place and roles on the Lake Traverse Reservation.
Join Dustina Gill from Nis’to to learn more about their work, and how they are supporting the youth in their region.
