About Tiyospaye-Winyan Maka: Our mission is to promote alternative housing and energy; nutritional and educational sovereignty for Lakota/Indigenous women and their families.

Company Overview: To do our work effectively we need to raise awareness that there are beautiful, strong people with a proud history who now live in third world conditions throughout one of the richest nations on earth. There are people who are suffering; however, our focuses currently are the Lakota (Sioux) tribes living in Lakota Territory in South Dakota.

We are continuously striving to create a support network to encourage self-help, healing and a sustainable lifestyle for indigenous women, youth, and families; whether living off or on reservations.

About Indigenous Support Network: Indigenous Support Network is a student organization formed to provide an opportunity for students to engage in educational and activist development projects concerning underprivileged and indigenous peoples and communities around the world.
