Lakota Gives Back

Lakota's commitment to social responsibility is reflected in three key initiatives: Native American Youth, Senior Citizen Health, and Advancing Healthy Living and Community Resposibility.

Lakota sponsors a number or programs structured around the principles of these platforms. For example, Lakota has awarded funding to Running Strong for American Indian Youth. This organization provides American Indian people with their immediate survival needs: food, water, and shelter while implementing and supporting programs designed to create opportunities for self-sufficiency and self-esteem, particularly to tribal youth.

In 2005, Lakota worked with Markhaven Foundation, a Long Term Care Facility, sponsoring the Grandma's Run providing a cash donation and product contributions. Collaberating with local organizations in Dawson Creek, BC, Lakota contributed $150,000 to a local recreational centre targeted at advancing healthy living within the community.
