‘Okiciya,’ Lakota for “to help each other,” a term Cecelia Fire Thunder at Maȟpíya Lύta references, inspires us. This shared ethos fuels collaboration and reflection with partners as they revitalize and preserve Native languages and cultures through transformative learning for children.

Our partners provide so many young learners with enriching experiences centered on culture, language, and heritage—paving the way for a future where child well-being contributes to strong families and communities. In many ways, it already is. As a learning organization, we are deeply grateful to work alongside such wonderful organizations and dedicated leaders.
