About Re-Member

Re-Member is an independent, non-profit organization working with the Oglala Lakota Nation on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. We improve the quality of life for those who live here, and provide meaningful opportunities to serve and learn for those who volunteer and support our work.

Re-Member’s efforts are funded by private donations, and guided by the aspirations of tribal members who are generous with their wisdom as cultural speakers, community leaders, and builders of understanding.

At Re-Member, we are builders.

We build beds for children who do not have one. We build outhouses for those without functional plumbing. We build knowledge and support self-sufficiency in our community gardens. We build economy with our support of local native-owned business. We build hope for a better tomorrow, by focusing on the promise and possibility of what can be.

Founded in 1998, Re-Member is among the longest serving non-profit organizations on Pine Ridge and is not affiliated with any religious, political, or policy group.
