Lakota In America

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 19, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 19, 2017

Genevieve Iron Lightning is a young Lakota dancer on the Cheyenne River reservation, one of the poorest communities in the US. Unemployment, addiction, alcoholism, and suicide are all challenges for Lakota on the reservation.

For nearly a hundred years it was illegal to practice Lakota customs. Now the Cheyenne River Youth Project is working with young people like Genevieve to create a stronger economic and cultural future – andthrey using their Lakota heritage to get there.
