Meeting the Basic Needs
As one community member once described how it feels to live in poverty, "Just like a building — I’m not going to worry about anything beyond my basic needs — if the foundation is NOT stable, why worry about anything above it?"
With limited resources, tribal leaders are working to rebuild this foundation and help those who need it most. Many Native American families in South Dakota don’t have basic living necessities.
In response to this dire need, we are working to provide supplies that offer much-needed relief and allows individuals to focus on other expenses.

COVID-19 Assistance
As some of the poorest in our nation, Native Americans in South Dakota face an overwhelming battle against the COVID-19! During this time of crisis, Native Hope’s Back to Basics is providing essentials for children and families living in Indian County.
We understand this is a nationwide issue, but Indian Country is severely affected as resources are already limited. Native Hope plans continued support as long as possible.
