Overview

Mission

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a charitable foundation for spiritual leaders to achieve the aim of the protection of Sacred Sites, clean water, clean air, and real food for all our relations, both human and non-human; and act as a fiscal sponsor for community action based projects and entities aligned with this mission and the training and education of the next generation

What it reported doing in 2025

Annually, the Foundation partners with community leaders and respective local, national, or international non-profits to host the World Peace and Prayer Day gathering (see http://worldpeaceandprayerday.com/) The Foundation has also focused on Healing with Horses, utilizing the Horse Nation with hosting journeys on horseback for plants, Sacred Site and medicine identification. We will then continue on our much larger goal of the White Buffalo Institute focusing on Language Immersion, Sustainable Development, Arts programing in fine arts, traditional arts, museum studies, radio/television production and assisting students to be college-ready and pursue professional degrees.
