Join us as we celebrate these accomplished women by highlighting their work and impacts to the community. Hear their words through interviews and testimonials from Native Action Network. After listening to their stories, join us for a group discussion about how lessons learned from Enduring Spirit Honorees and other cultural leaders can inspire and mobilize communities for positive change

The Four Seasons of a Lakota Woman Willow Janice Richards Director, Lakota Studies at Little Wound School Ruth Cedar Face Licensed Counselor Custom law and teachings were the foundation of life for Lakota people The foundation lies within the Cangleska (Circle of Life) which embodies ceremonies and oral teachings from infancy to becoming an elder. The four seasons is the life cycle of a woman; how traditional values, ancient teachings and ceremonies were taught throughout the four phases of life. These four phases taught roles & responsibilities, kinship, self-care, balance, and traditional forms of healing. Relearning and practicing these teachings strengthen not only the woman but the whole family. When a mother heals, a family heals, when a family heals the community heals, when a community heals, nations heal.
