"THE SUNKA WAKAN Transformations Horse Camp"
During the summer, students participate in the healing (spiritual, physical and emotional and mental) through horse nation cultural values while participating in a Native American horse mask ceremony.  Students were taught the Seven Teachings of the Ojibwe Anishinaabe and Dakota values.

Sunka Wakan Mission Statement: Through the horse nation, Sunka Wakan Transformations will empower, heal, and reconnect Native Youth to our traditional ways of healing.

Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.78, requires that all Minnesota districts and tribal schools with 10 or more American Indian students have an American Indian Parent Advisory Committee (AIPAC). These committees serve in an advisory role to their school/district and help ensure that American Indian students are receiving culturally relevant and equitable educational opportunities. They are critical to the achievement and success of American Indian students statewide.

This council is also guided/funded through a Minnesota Department of Education grant. With questions, please email or call council advisors.
