About
The Program
Our desire with Lakota Circles of Hope is that every student in South Dakota learns to be confident in who they are. This curriculum uses traditional Lakota wisdom and stories to teach universal values of character. But it’s not just meant for Lakota students. Children from every background and culture can grow and learn with Lakota Circles of Hope.
LCH doesn’t rely on negativity or a critical spirit to teach students the universal values of respect, generosity, bravery, fortitude and wisdom. Rather, LCH at its core, is about bridge-building and character-growing.
Final LCH study provides preliminary evidence that, when delivered with fidelity, LCH contributes to statistically significant changes in risk behaviors. - The Journal of Primary Prevention 38(1):1-20. DOI:10.1007/s10935-016-0462-3
