- SACRED STORM BUFFALO IS A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY INITIATIVE THAT RESTORES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH AND THEIR ANCESTRAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE LAND AND THE BUFFALO. THROUGH TWO COMPLEMENTARY OPERATIONS A MOBILE HARVEST UNIT AND A BRICK-ANDMORTAR BUTCHER SHOP AND MARKET PARTICIPANTS ENGAGE IN HANDS-ON APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING IN EVERY STAGE OF BUFFALO HARVESTING, BUTCHERY, FULL CARCASS UTILIZATION, RETAIL OPERATIONS, AND FOOD ENTREPRENEURSHIP. ROOTED IN LAKOTA VALUES, THE PROGRAM RECONNECTS YOUNG PEOPLE TO CULTURAL FOOD TRADITIONS, BUILDS PATHWAYS TO MEANINGFUL CAREERS IN AGRICULTURE AND FOOD PRODUCTION, AND ADVANCES FOOD SOVEREIGNTY FOR INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING ETHICALLY SOURCED, CULTURALLY RELEVANT PROTEIN AND TRADITIONAL FOODS TO FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IN NEED. SACRED STORM BUFFALO REPRESENTS WAMBLI SKA'S COMMITMENT TO EMPOWERING OUR PEOPLE NOT JUST TO SURVIVE, BUT TO LEAD. THE PARTICIPANTS IN OUR PROGRAM ARE NOT BETWEEN JOBS OR SIMPLY SEEKING A NEW CAREER PATH - THEY HAVE LIVED THROUGH YEARS OF UNRESOVLED TRAUMA AND GRIEF. THE CONVENTIONAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM WAS NOT BUILT FOR OUR PARTICIPANTS. SACRED STORM BUFFALO IS BUILT ON THE SIMPLE BELIEF THAT MEANINGFUL, STRUCTURED WORK OFFERED IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT, WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORT, IS ITSELF A HEALING INTERVENTION. OUR PROGRAM BUILDS SKILL, RESPONSIBILITY, DIGNITY, IDENTITY, AND COMPETENCE. PERSONAL, FINANCIAL, AND PURPOSE-DRIVEN SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR GOAL - BUILDING LIVES THAT HOLD TOGETHER FROM THE INSIDE OUT, NOT PROPPED UP BY EXTERNAL SUPPORT. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS NOT JUST FOCUSED ON JOB PLACEMENT - THE PROGRAM EXPLICITLY INCLUDES SUPPORT FOR BASIC SELF-CARE, HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT, TRAUMA AND GRIEF PROCESSING, RELATIONAL SKILLS AND COMMUNITY. THIS HOLISITC APPROACH IS INTEGRAL TO ACHIEVING OUR MISSION.Expenses $1,083,737 · revenue $1,923,994
