Native Now Foundation Inc

We would like to develop a Nokota Horse Preservation Herd that will serve as a living exhibit of our past. A place where people can come and reach back into history and touch our ancestors. A place of healing where teachings from the horse nation will be shared. We would eventually like to purchase or lease enough land to return the Nokota back to their natural state. Back to the way Tunkasila intended them to be.
Objectives:

(1) Bring Back The Horse

Our ancestors knew horses could affect you in powerful ways. We would like to purchase mares for foundation stock from the Nokota Horse Conservancy. By purchasing them we also contribute to the success of the NHC. We want to create learning and healing opportunities for our people by sharing teachings from the horse nation. We’d implement our own cultural and spiritual approaches to equine assisted wellness and therapeutic horsemanship.

(2) Sunkawakan Ta Wounspe: Teaching from the Horse Nation.

With the spirit of the horse, we will nurture leadership among our youth by re-instilling Woope (Traditional Social Rules to the Lakota way of Life) and Wotakuye (Lakota kinship), the foundation of Lakota society. We are committed to preserving the teachings of our ancestors.
