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.
Our Vision:
Re-Member is an organization that exists to recall our country's treatment of the Native people of the Americas and to repair the broken pieces of that relationship.
Our Mission:
Guided by the aspirations of the Oglala Lakota communities we serve, Re-Member seeks to improve the quality of life on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota through relationships, shared resources, and volunteer services. Through work projects and cultural immersion, we continue to develop a growing circle of advocates standing in solidarity with the Lakota people on Pine Ridge.
