Standing Rock Reservation
Standing Rock Reservation is located in North and South Dakota. The people of Standing Rock Reservation, The Standing Rock Oyate, are members of the Dakota and Lakota nations. The terms "Dakota" and "Lakota" mean friends or allies. The Lakota and Dakota are commonly referred to as "Sioux", a shortened and distorted version of the Ojibwa word "Nadouwesou" which means snake. We look forward to a time when NatureShift! will also feature Standing Rock Reservation.
The people of the Spirit Lake Reservation, the Mini Wakan Oyate, are members of the Dakota Nation. "Dakota" means friends or allies. Mini Wakan Oyate translates as "The people of the Spirit Water". The Dakota are commonly referred to as "Sioux", a shortened and distorted version of the Ojibwa word "Nadouwesou" which means snake. The Four Winds School on Spirit Lake Reservation is a NatureShift!
