Today, we are thrilled to be joined by Tatewin Means, who is the daughter of famed Oglala Lakota activist Russell Means, and whose full Lakota name means “woman who stands with the Four Directions", hails from the Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota, Oglala Lakota, and Inhanktonwan nations in South Dakota - all members of the Oceti Sakowin, the Lakota traditional government. And by Amy Lewis, WILD’s CEO!

In this podcast episode, we delve into Tatewin's work as the Executive Director of Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation, where she seeks liberation for Lakota People through language, lifeways, and spirituality and works, in part, with the reintroduction of bison to achieve her cultural objectives.

Oh, and we are happy to share that Tatewin will be a Plenary Speaker at WILD12!
