ABOUT US COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS COVID-19 RESOURCES DONATE OUR TEAM Our work is organized with the Oyate at the top because our work is from and for our people. We follow the guidance and values of our community on questions fundamental to the movement we are building. Our Lifeways and Wellness Equity team connects the work of our Initiatives and our community by guiding us on healing pathways to liberation and rooting our work in Lakol Wicohan. By healing ourselves, we become sovereign, self-determined and liberated. This then extends to the thiwáhe (the family), the thiyóšpaye (the extended family unit), and eventually the entire oyáte (nation). At our foundation, we rely on the wisdom of our Board of Directors to guide us and our leadership team to ensure we achieve our intended impact. The directors and staff move the work forward, through strength and courage, always coming from a place of hope. All of us, together, believe in the prayer that began Thunder Valley’s story and continue to believe in the beauty this place is -- we carry this responsibility because the people depend on us. It’s not what we do, it’s who we are.
