Follow your path, my child, Follow your path, my child, and you will become a nation.

Song sung by survivors of the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890.

  • ABOUT US

    Through law, public policy, research, and education we are working together with the People of the Seven Council Fires—Oceti Sakowin Oyate—to win justice and renewal for the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota peoples.

  • DONATE

    The Lakota Child Rescue Fund supports our legal and investigative work. Currently, we are compiling court-admissible evidence and preparing a Federal civil lawsuit to free the children and to stop South Dakota’s legal violations and abuses of Lakota rights.

    Recently, NPR aired an historic 3-part series on Lakota families and the State of South Dakota's violations of the Indian Child Welfare Act. More than 29 million people heard the report. It is powerful and moving. Don't miss it! Click below to listen.
