In support of Indian Education for all, Oyate can not be overlooked so click here !. As written on their website, they are a "Native organization working to see that our lives and histories are portrayed with honesty and integrity, and that all people know that our stories belong to us. For Indian children growing up in the 21st century, it is as important as ever for them to know who they are and learn about the histories that they come from. For all children, it is time to know and acknowledge the truths of history. Only then will they come to have the understanding and respect for each other that now, more than ever, will be necessary for life to continue... The great Lakota leader, Tatanka Iotanka—Sitting Bull—said, 'Let us put our minds together and see what life we will make for our children.'"
