MISSION & PURPOSE of Owe Aku, Bring Back the Way

Owe Aku approaches all activities to preserve and revitalize the Lakota Way of Life in working with the Tiwahe (family), Tiospaye (Relatives Living Together: Extended Family), Oglala Band, Lakota Nation, and Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires). We promote and work to protect our Treaty Rights and Human Rights, here on the ground in our hometown and in other arenas where our rights can be protected. Owe Aku focuses on the young generations in order to contribute to the Lakota Nation, and the World, Lakota and other Indigenous People who are firmly grounded in their ancient identity and a healthy lifestyle that includes leadership skills.

Through this way Lakota Wicohan (Lakota Way of Life) will be preserved for the coming generations. It is through this way that we preserve and protect our natural environment for the coming generations. We believe in and engage in collective action: it is through people working together that social change is made.
