In partnership with Hopa Mountain and the National Park Service, the Cheyenne River Youth Project sent seven Lakota youth ages 13-16 to Pipestone National Monument on May 21-23. The field trip was made possible through a “Connecting with our Homelands” travel grant, which provides funds for indigenous organizations, schools, and nonprofits to visit national park units across the United States.
Located in southwestern Minnesota, Pipestone National Monument is home to a red stone called catlinite. Native people, including the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota, have quarried this stone for centuries to make ceremonial pipes.
CRYP staff accompanied the teens on the trip. They arrived Friday evening and began their adventure Saturday morning with an off-trail tour of the Circle Trail and a talk from park ranger Gabe Yellowhawk, who spoke about prairie restoration.
Registered nurses (RNs) are one of the nation’s top in-demand occupations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the field to grow from 3 million in 2019 to 3.3 million in 2029, an increase of 7%. New registered nurses are also needed to replace the 175,900 who are projected to retire over the next seven years. For Native communities, the demand for RNs is particularly important. Often located in rural areas where there are already shortages of medical facilities and healthcare personnel, Native Americans suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure at disproportionate rates. Native RNs are the key to providing patients with culturally competent and vital care such as wellness check-ups, vaccines, and inoculations, ensuring their communities’ overall health.
