Youth Camp 2022 ~ Yellowstone Wyoming

Wiconi Wakan Youth Camp has been running for 4 years at Tatanka Mani Camp near Hot Springs, SD. Through the camp, we offer our youth of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation the opportunities to explore self, culture, education, and nature. This is the first time we will be taking the camp on the road, exciting and scary but will be a great experience for our Oglala Lakota youth. We will be traveling with 14 youth and 4 chaperones

We will be lodging/camping at the Buffalo Field Campaign campus in West Yellowstone MT. Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) is the only group working both in the field and in the policy arenas to stop the harassment and slaughter of America’s last wild buffalo.

Formalized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1997, we also protect the natural habitat of wild free-roaming bison and other native wildlife and stand with First Nations to honor the sacredness of wild buffalo.

Our primary goal is to create permanent year-round protection for bison and the ecosystem they depend on—including respect for the migratory needs of this long-exploited and clearly endangered species.

100% of the donation goes to the Wiconi Wakan Youth Movement - Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
