About us
Our work is not just a two-person operation. Many of our trips are made with many wonderful people and organizations that make the time we spend on the reservation even more meaningful. Since we started working with Pine Ridge, our lives have been enriched by others who are willing to donate their valuable time and resources. Our work would not be possible without the generosity of many individuals nationwide that contribute to our organization. We are truly grateful for everyone’s support and will continue to carry on because of their collective contributions.
