Our mission is to improve people's lives in American Indian and other disadvantaged communities.
Resources on Ethical Issues on Indian ReservationsThe Tribal Leaders Institute, offers courses based on traditional values of courage, generosity, honesty and perseverance. Courses are offered for managers, board members and employees, with a focus on how each of us can lead to greater success in our communities, workplace and personal lives by being more ethical. Just one example: attendance- the money saved by not paying for the thousands of hours per year employees are paid for not working would add up to a million dollars for each reservation. Tanyan wowunkdakapi (Dakota for good conversation) is our on-line discussion forum. It is available free. This forum deals with ethical issues from our courses, current news, history, other Internet sites and opinions from tribal members around the country. Ethics blogs - Dakota Hoksina (Indian Boy) by Dr. Erich Longie gives regular opinions on issues from living an ethical life to the ethics of the Fighting Sioux logo. AnnMaria's blog talks a lot about applications of ethical values on and off the reservation, from federal grants to the state of California. New resourcesSiha Hanksa Library of Tribal Leadership: We currently have 'shelves' up on Dakota values, history, ethics in education, tribal ethics and for our monthly newsletters. This is a project in development, access is free and we are expanding our offerings weekly. The Tribal Leaders Wiki is a resource for information on all topics specific to ethics on Indian reservations, including tribal government, history and traditional values. Information is also included on related subjects, theories of ethics, philosophy and ethical topics applied to individual fields such as academics, business and government. Resources on Disability, Chronic Illness and Special EducationFor returning visitors, we still have all our features that may have brought you to our site in the past, online courses in Developmental Disabilities, the Caring for Our People Training Series, our Family Life Series, and Special Education.
