Your Photography is helping the youth of our Native American Indians



We have partnered with the following Native American Indian Schools. A portion of your photography contract
will be donated in your name to a school of your choice. You can be part of a good dream that is caught in their dream catcher!

Visit their web sites to find out more about the mission of each school.

In addition to educational programs St. Francis Mission has developed programs that support the development
of strong self-esteem and self-value. Two such programs are the Youth Employment Training Program and Body,
Mind & Soul. The Y.E.T. program, as it is known locally, provides much needed work experience and the practice
of work ethic by employing youth ages 13-17 in the various departments of St. Francis Mission during the summer months.
Besides offering knowledge in unique areas such as Museum artifact preservation and DJ experience at
Radio Station KINI, the program provides for other opportunities like CPR training and spiritual development.

educational curriculum (Math, Science, History, etc.) as well as courses in ethics, religion, Lakota culture, Lakota religion, and Lakota language.
