Cultural Exchange Program

NMC's Cante´ Waste´ Youth Program is hoping to visit Mission, South Dakota, in May 2024 for a Youth Cultural Exchange Program. Mato Siyete, the South Dakota chapter of NMC will be passing on the history and beliefs of the Lakota Tribe by hosting drum-making workshops and sharing the songs of their people. We hope to continue this program in 2025 and invite the Mato Siyete Youth Program to visit Tucson and learn from the Tohono O'odham and Yaqui people. We aim to unify various tribes on Turtle Island, but first, we start at our core, our home.
