Tokala Inajinyo Youth Leadership Mentoring Program

Anpetu waste! Sicangu Youth Council has made it to Canada! 🇨🇦 Today, Sicangu Youth Council had the honor of speaking at the Oceti Sakowin Language Summit at the Whitecap Dakota First Nation here in Canada. They spoke about their journeys in syc, boarding school history and its affects on Indigenous people across Turtle Island, and how the Battle of Little Bighorn is vital to our history as Lakota people.

They also spoke about how we all need to unify and come together to continue to break these cycles of colonialism and continue to fight and practice our Lakota way of life. By sharing their stories, and learning and practicing our languages we will continue to honor our ancestors while uplifting the next generations to come.

We are so proud of Ashlen, Leah and Darrian! Wopila to our relatives up north for giving us the honor of speaking today. 🤎

This morning Tokala Inajinyo/Sicangu Youth Council hosted the first 150th Battle of Little Bighorn All Nations Youth Meeting. We began with an introduction from Student Council President and SYC Member Julian Spotted Elk, followed by a Welcoming Address given by Miss Sinte Gleska University and a former SYC member Rachel Janis. Students from the Wakanyeja Tokeyahci Immersion School led us with a prayer followed by a prayer song. Afterwards, we had a guest speaker Henry Quick Bear Sr who gave a presentation about the history of the battle. To end the meeting, we played “Sweep the Tipi” led by Alexis White Hat from the Learning and Development program at Sicangu Co.

We did not have much attendees but we appreciate those who came and participated!! And wopila tanka to the students from the Wakanyeja Tokeyahci Immersion School, Miss SGU Rachel Janis, Henry Quick Bear Sr, L&D from Sicangu Co and St.Francis Indian School for helping making this event possible!!

We will be planning for another all nations youth meeting soon and we hope to see more youth and tribes at the next one! 😊
