Thunder Valley, a Lakota empowerment organization, has raised one-hundred-thousand dollars for its next workforce development group. That money will provide education, mentorship, and leadership opportunities for those in the program.

The town hall meetings, two of which are occurring in November, will strike an educational, empowering tone.

The first ever Lakota Media Summit provided two days of learning to media in the Black Hills, while also offering a platform for Native activists and a performance space for artists.
