The Oglala Lakota Cultural & Economic Revitalization Initiative (OLCERI) is a Lakota led, reservation based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to restore resilience, self-sufficiency, economic independence, and revitalize Lakota culture on the Pine Ridge reservation, while sharing our knowledge and research with other communities seeking assistance.
The aim is to address the historical and systemic barriers that have impacted the Lakota people's ability to maintain and enhance their cultural heritage, identity, and economic well-being.
