"Good acts done for the love of children become stories good for the ears of
the people of other bands, they become as coveted things, and are placed side by
side with the stories of war achievements."
-Assiniboine Tradition

Arvol Lookinghorse & Cheryl Red Bear with New Orleans Youth

Mission Statement:
The mission of The White Buffalo Day Children's Foundation is to inspire children to embrace and contribute to their cultural heritage, as well as gain a deeper understanding and respect for other cultures. This kind of mutual respect across cultural boundaries discourages the trend of street violence, drugs and other kinds of abuse, aggression and self degradation. It is our goal to produce and manage long term educational programs and projects that employ a cultural exchange between inner city youth here in New Orleans, and the youth of indigenous nations living on reservations across The United States. Many youth are disconnected from their community, family, history, and the land, The White Buffalo Day Children's Foundation seeks to reconnect, restore, and bring healing to these children.
