The
Administration for Native Americans
(ANA), Administration for Children and
Families, has awarded an emergency
single source grant to the Oglala Sioux
Tribe (OST) for programs whose goal is
to empower youth ages 8 to 24 to make
changes in their communities, to be
proud of their heritage, and to inspire
them to celebrate life so that they may
see that there is a positive future for
them. It is intended that this program
will have a 24-month project period so
that another 12-month budget period
will be funded noncompetitively for
$400,000 in FY 2016. In testimony
before the Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs on June 24, 2015, Oglala Sioux
Tribe President John Yellowbird Steele’s
testimony stated that 11 young people
on the Pine Ridge Reservation have been
lost to suicide since December. In
addition, at least another 176 of the
youth have attempted suicide in that
period, according to the Indian Health
Service, and 229 more were treated for
suicidal ideation.
The awarded project is designed to
increase positive youth empowerment
activities in all nine districts on the Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation through the
development of Student Youth
Councils, peer to peer mentoring, and
Lakota cultural awareness activities.
The award was made under ANA’s
program for Social and Economic
Development Strategies (SEDS). The
OST has been designated as a Federal
government Promise Zone, because of
the severe financial and economic status
in the area in which they live. The Pine
Ridge Reservation is also located in
Shannon County, which is often
referred to as the poorest county in the
United States.
