Kind-Hearted Women Society (Cante Waunsilpi Wi Ta Ominiciye) is an Indigenous-led nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing Lakota cultural practices, empowering Native women and girls, and fostering long-term systemic change.
Rooted in the Lakota values of respect (Wóohola), cultural revitalization (Lakȟól’iyapi), healing (Wówaŋyaŋg Wicákȟ’e), empowerment (Wichóni), and community (Tiospaye), Kind Hearted Women’s Society provides a safe, culturally connected space for young Indigenous women to heal, grow, and lead.
Traditional practices, including regalia making, storytelling, and sacred ceremonies are blended with modern advocacy and leadership opportunities, such as raising awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, in order to inspire self-determination and resilience.
