Speak From The Heart!⁠ ⁠ Meet Sister Charles, a local nun in Crow Creek Reservation of German descent who has lived on the reservation since 1984. And her goal in life is to provide a voice for those who have been silenced for far too long.⁠ ⁠ A vocal advocate of teaching children about authentic Native American culture, Sister Charles has authored a number of religious texts for children 1st through 8th grade to learn about Native American culture and history, allowing for them to more meaningfully connect with their heritage!⁠ ⁠ Now, thanks to Sister Charles allowing the culture to speak for itself through her books, children of the Crow Creek Reservation have a much deeper understanding on the value of respect towards nature and how to keep the culture alive, and will impart these lessons on generations to come!⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #NativeAmerican #Religion #Education #CrowCreek #FortThompson #SouthDakota #Travel #USA⁠ (at Crow Creek Reservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NXudRJqvp/?igshid=11tj1di6lj5t

The Unstoppable Chieftains!⁠ ⁠ Sometimes the biggest driving force for success is unity, and in the Crow Creek community we were able to see that idea in motion thanks to their local football stars, the Chieftains!⁠ ⁠ Jace (Front), James (Middle) and Dontae (Back) are 1st, 3rd, and 4th grade football players for their community’s team, and they take great pride in their win-streak from this season, going undefeated for quite a while before just recently suffering their first loss!⁠ ⁠ And while each and every one of them is exceptionally passionate about football, they all definitely value their teammates and understand that the best way to accomplish your goals is through working together!⁠ ⁠ Did you enjoy football growing up? Let us know in the comments!⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ . ⁠ ⁠ #Football #Teamwork #CrowCreek #SiouxTribe #FortThompson #SouthDakota #Travel #USA⁠ (at Crow Creek Reservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3M1ZA8Darw/?igshid=camqaknmdree

Be Proud!⁠ ⁠ Meet Lorenzo from Fort Thompson, SD. Lorenzo is a Native American in the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, and he couldn’t be more proud of his culture, and furthermore, his community!⁠ ⁠ As somebody who takes great pride in his heritage and his background, one of the most inspiring things for Lorenzo is seeing how invested the youth of their tribe are in their culture, taking pleasure in learning their language and carrying on the traditions their community has.⁠ ⁠ It was obvious from the moment that we met him that Lorenzo loves his community, and we know that the people of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe are in great hands thanks to him, and to the children which encourage him to love his fellow people every single day!⁠ ⁠ Are you proud of your heritage?

When your older kids text you a warning "not to freak out" when walking into the house, because they've built themselves a Fort of Positivity and stocked it full of junk food and soda, you know it's been that kind of a week. #thisfullhouseliving #fortthompson #byogw #bringyourowngummyworms
