Welcome Relatives to the 38th Annual He Sapa Wacipi

We are honored and excited to welcome relatives, dancers, singers, drum groups, families, friends, and visitors to another celebration of indigenous culture, tradition, community, and the spirit of the He Sapa (Black Hills).
❤️🖤🤍💛

For 38 years, the He Sapa Wacipi has brought people together through the beautiful sounds of the drum, the movement of the dancers, the strength of our traditions, and the joy of gathering as one community.

Come join us as we celebrate our people, honor our elders and ancestors, welcome our youth, and share the beauty of our culture with all who join us.

🧡 Every Child Matters. Every Story Matters.

On Orange Shirt Day, we remember the children who were taken from their families, communities, languages, cultures, and ways of life. We honor those who never made it home, and we stand with Survivors whose strength continues to carry truth forward.

This day is more than wearing orange. It is about remembering, listening, learning, and taking action. It is about confronting the truth of residential schools and recognizing the lasting impacts felt by Indigenous families and communities today.

We remember the children.
We honor the Survivors.
We uplift our Elders.
We protect our languages and cultures.
And we continue to carry our peoples forward.

Every Child Matters.

🌿 Building Knowledge. Strengthening Capacity. Supporting Economic Development.
Cedar Tree Native Law is proud to provide Credit & Finance Program training sessions to the Oglala Sioux Tribe led by Cedar Tree Senior Attorney Jennifer Bear Eagle.
These training sessions are designed to provide valuable knowledge and practical tools that build expertise within the Tribe and through its Tribal members by supporting economic development, financial empowerment, and long-term self-sufficiency. We’re honored to work alongside the Tribe and support its efforts to build a strong foundation for continued economic growth and opportunity for Tribal members.
