About Us
RE-MEMBER is a non-profit organization which works with the Oglala Lakota Nation on Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota. Volunteers comprised of individuals and groups (adult and youth) from churches, high schools, colleges, and corporations join us at our facility on Pine Ridge for one week at a time. Our volunteers participate in various work projects across the Reservation, helping to rebuild relationships, homes, and lives.
Guided by the aspirations of the Oglala Lakota Indian communities we serve, RE-MEMBER seeks to improve the quality of reservation life through relationships, shared resources and volunteer services. Through site visits and cultural immersion, we continue to develop a growing circle of advocates standing in solidarity with the Indian people of Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
