🎙️ The Stories of Lakota Elders Podcast Is NOW LIVE

Today, on Mother’s Day, we are proud to launch Stories of Lakota Elders — beginning with a powerful first series featuring Cecelia Fire Thunder.

In the very first episode, Cecelia shares her birth story and powerful Lakota teachings on birth, motherhood, and the sacred role women carry in our communities.

Throughout the series, she also reflects on resilience, leadership, humor, healing, and firsthand experiences with Indian Boarding Schools, the Relocation era, and her role as the Oglala Sioux Tribe's first female President.

These conversations are honest, moving, funny, difficult at times, and deeply human. We are honored to help carry these stories forward.

🎧 The full series is now available:
• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/33hacQmM9LOGmwrc0bdMrA
• Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/maȟpíya-lúta/id1821484489
• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb7J6cZR1Ks0JOVWIfeGF9vq92SR8SZgP

Wópila tȟáŋka to everyone who helped bring this project to life. We hope you’ll listen, share, and spend time with these stories.

📣 The Indigenous Tomorrows Fund (ITF) opens for applications on May 20, 2026!

Native youth are cultivating thriving communities. We're honored to invite you into what they're growing.

Over the past year, Native youth leaders aged 14–24 came together through listening sessions, visioning circles, and participatory design experiences to answer a shared question: What do you believe your community needs to thrive?

Their dreams and visions author this fund.

In 2026, ITF will move $1,650,000 to Native-led and Native-serving organizations across the U.S. and its territories — offering three tiers of grants: $25K, $65K, and $100K, with every funding decision made by Native youth.

We will invest in five youth-authored bundles of community thriving:
✨ Maintaining the Life Cycle of Balance: Culture, ceremony, and language as sovereignty. Youth as culture carriers.
✨ Intergenerational Knowledge & Relationships: Youth, adults, and Elders woven together. Building strong relationships is the work.
✨ Healing: Holistic, culturally informed care that nourishes the whole self — body, mind, and spirit.
✨ Nurturing That Which Nourishes Us: Indigenous foodways, lands, and waters as one living system. Youth learning how to care for and protect the system.
✨ Building Power & Activating Abundance: Sovereignty, leadership, and the resources Native communities need to thrive.

We welcome applications from Native-led and Native-serving 501c3 organizations, Tribal Nations-affiliated initiatives, and fiscally sponsored projects of 501c3 organizations, where Native youth, especially those under 18, are central to the work you do.

For more information about the Indigenous Tomorrows Fund 2026 grant cycle, read the full Request for Proposals: nativephilanthropy.org/blog/upcoming-itf26

The Indigenous Tomorrows Fund is a powerful collaboration between Native Americans in Philanthropy and our funder partners: Newman’s Own Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and private donors.
