WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:02.730 - [Joe Walker] As part of a Children's Bureau initiative 2 00:00:02.730 --> 00:00:03.780 to raise awareness 3 00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:07.830 of tribally engaged prevention and intervention efforts 4 00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:10.230 the Center for Native Child and Family Resilience 5 00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:13.320 partnered with five tribal organizations 6 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.010 including the Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center 7 00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:20.509 to identify and enhance culturally-based programs 8 00:00:20.509 --> 00:00:24.390 designed to strengthen community and family resilience 9 00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:28.080 in American Indian and Alaska native communities. 10 00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.960 The center is committed to building the evidence base 11 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.140 of Tribal child welfare knowledge and practice 12 00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:37.440 through evaluation and sharing the knowledge gained 13 00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.513 through these projects with the field. 14 00:00:40.830 --> 00:00:44.610 - [Arlana] This is the story of the Zuya Yuha O'mani program 15 00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:48.360 developed by the Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center 16 00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:52.200 on the Lakota Sioux Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. 17 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.930 The purpose of the program is to advocate for 18 00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:56.790 and protect the rights of children 19 00:00:56.790 --> 00:01:00.480 living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. 20 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.500 An area of 3,468 square miles 21 00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:07.710 with a population of close to 40,000. 22 00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:11.310 Historical practices of assimilation and discrimination 23 00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:13.980 have resulted in many children being taken 24 00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:15.237 from their tiwahe 25 00:01:15.237 --> 00:01:16.950 and tiospaye 26 00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:19.770 to foster homes outside the community 27 00:01:19.770 --> 00:01:23.343 causing long term grief and trauma among the Lakota people. 28 00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:27.510 - [Lawrence] Other complications in recent decades 29 00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:29.370 have compounded the trauma of children 30 00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:32.310 through violence and social misconduct. 31 00:01:32.310 --> 00:01:34.836 Others of our wakenyeja, or children 32 00:01:34.836 --> 00:01:37.530 are trapped in homes where neglect and abuse 33 00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:39.870 take the place of love and guidance 34 00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:42.840 needing help to find a safe place to grow up 35 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.243 helping their spirits heal and soar. 36 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.590 - [Arlana] Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center 37 00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:51.540 actually began in 38 00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:55.620 it was incepted, the idea was incepted in 1997 39 00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:58.770 by a group of people at home 40 00:01:58.770 --> 00:02:02.046 who wanted to become a CASA program 41 00:02:02.046 --> 00:02:04.740 a Court Appointed Special Advocates. 42 00:02:04.740 --> 00:02:07.800 And so with that, that's how it all began. 43 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.030 It wasn't until later and that we did a transformation 44 00:02:12.030 --> 00:02:15.660 to become Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center 45 00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:20.070 which opens up child advocacy to a broader 46 00:02:20.070 --> 00:02:22.923 a whole enhanced level of child advocacy. 47 00:02:24.254 --> 00:02:27.210 We've seen the need to have advocacy 48 00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:30.630 from the point of trauma throughout healing 49 00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:33.480 instead of just at that adjudicatory level. 50 00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:35.680 The mission and vision is really 51 00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:41.430 to provide services, cultural services 52 00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:45.003 at every level within our advocacy. 53 00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:50.160 It's taking the lessons from our historical past 54 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:54.000 and combining them with now 55 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.000 and providing that advocacy for the children. 56 00:02:59.190 --> 00:03:02.130 Again, I said from the point of trauma throughout healing. 57 00:03:02.130 --> 00:03:07.130 So at every level when we greet the children, meet them 58 00:03:08.220 --> 00:03:10.380 and all the way, of course through the cultural 59 00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:12.390 the ceremonies. 60 00:03:12.390 --> 00:03:14.230 But it's even in the advocacy 61 00:03:15.965 --> 00:03:18.243 in how we greet them and how we act for them. 62 00:03:19.387 --> 00:03:24.387 - In the past there were many different responsibilities 63 00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:27.690 that people had. 64 00:03:27.690 --> 00:03:32.690 Like a whip man, Kate'la societies, Tokala societies. 65 00:03:35.370 --> 00:03:38.770 But there were also men and women who were storytellers 66 00:03:39.690 --> 00:03:41.373 and culture bearers. 67 00:03:42.630 --> 00:03:45.840 So our children, in the old days 68 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.140 would be oriented from the beginning of time 69 00:03:49.140 --> 00:03:51.063 which would be our creation story. 70 00:03:52.230 --> 00:03:54.600 And with the utilization of the creation story 71 00:03:54.600 --> 00:03:57.630 it actually tells these boys and girls 72 00:03:57.630 --> 00:03:59.580 who they are and where they come from. 73 00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:02.130 So our creation story, our culture 74 00:04:02.130 --> 00:04:03.480 our legends, our ceremonies 75 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:08.480 all have an integral part in the orientation of our children 76 00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:12.720 especially as it pertains to them growing into adults. 77 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:14.195 So those are the things that 78 00:04:14.195 --> 00:04:19.195 we want to impart back to our children. 79 00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:22.890 So they at least have a concept or a thought 80 00:04:22.890 --> 00:04:26.040 about how they're supposed to move forward in life. 81 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.420 - So implementation really garnered 82 00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:34.380 collective advocacy on our homelands. 83 00:04:34.380 --> 00:04:39.380 So with that, as we moved along and we began, when I began 84 00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:43.060 I began in the program in June of 98 85 00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:47.020 and doing that CASA advocacy 86 00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:50.700 and training those volunteers 87 00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:54.840 and guiding them to do the advocacy for the children. 88 00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:58.200 Then we built up and built up and we seen that it needed 89 00:04:58.200 --> 00:04:59.760 that collectiveness. 90 00:04:59.760 --> 00:05:01.950 So we've added in our laws 91 00:05:01.950 --> 00:05:06.950 which I worked on and was a co-facilitator for six years. 92 00:05:07.650 --> 00:05:10.650 We worked on our child and family code, 93 00:05:10.650 --> 00:05:14.909 which is Wakanyeja Na Tiwahe Ta Woope, means. 94 00:05:14.909 --> 00:05:17.400 Child advocacy and laws. 95 00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:20.850 And that was so gathering from all of the people there 96 00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:25.830 all of the people, the spiritual leaders, the program people 97 00:05:25.830 --> 00:05:26.890 the youth 98 00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:32.220 the leadership there. 99 00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:35.770 And so to actually work on that for six years 100 00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:39.720 we knew that there needed to be implementation 101 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.160 of the culture. 102 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.080 That's our blueprint. 103 00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:45.933 And that's really when that dynamic began. 104 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.120 And in our law is a few different things. 105 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.680 And one of them is the tribal child protection team. 106 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.850 We have federal prosecution based multidisciplinary team. 107 00:05:59.850 --> 00:06:02.610 So we didn't wanna rename it as the same. 108 00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:05.460 But that is the different disciplines, as I call them 109 00:06:05.460 --> 00:06:08.190 of law enforcement, of child protection 110 00:06:08.190 --> 00:06:11.640 of child advocacy, of victim services 111 00:06:11.640 --> 00:06:14.880 of Indian Health Services, providing the medical. 112 00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:18.330 So that really was an implementation aspect 113 00:06:18.330 --> 00:06:21.180 of doing our work in that way 114 00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:24.150 in coming together and networking 115 00:06:24.150 --> 00:06:26.370 for the best interest of the child. 116 00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:31.140 - [Lawrence] We receive children in our program because 117 00:06:31.140 --> 00:06:34.890 they have been severely physically or sexually abused. 118 00:06:34.890 --> 00:06:39.890 And we utilize the culture as a means to let them know 119 00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:44.100 that they can be in control of their own destiny. 120 00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:47.670 When they come to us, they're reserved 121 00:06:47.670 --> 00:06:50.110 they're in a shell 122 00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:53.290 and they don't want to talk 123 00:06:54.780 --> 00:06:56.980 because of the trauma that they experienced. 124 00:06:58.590 --> 00:07:02.580 And so with the use of the Inikagapi 125 00:07:02.580 --> 00:07:03.610 or the sweat lodge 126 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.053 and when we take them in there, it's pitch black. 127 00:07:08.310 --> 00:07:10.350 So there's nobody looking at them 128 00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:13.680 like a psychologist taking notes, you know. 129 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.263 It's more intimidating than it is healing. 130 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:18.810 So when it's pitch black 131 00:07:18.810 --> 00:07:22.590 there's nobody staring at them and expecting them to answer. 132 00:07:22.590 --> 00:07:25.350 And we go in and we soothe the spirit 133 00:07:25.350 --> 00:07:27.720 calm the spirit down from the trauma 134 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.450 by using songs and stories. 135 00:07:30.450 --> 00:07:34.530 And the atmospheric effect of the sweat lodge 136 00:07:34.530 --> 00:07:36.453 also helps to calm them down. 137 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.080 So we're using the number one ceremony 138 00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:44.790 which is the sweat lodge, to calm the spirit initially. 139 00:07:44.790 --> 00:07:47.580 Then we provide the orientation for them 140 00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:49.470 and once they receive the orientation 141 00:07:49.470 --> 00:07:52.300 they understand that 142 00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:55.020 perhaps their mother and father 143 00:07:55.020 --> 00:07:56.790 were not taught these things. 144 00:07:56.790 --> 00:08:01.110 And so this is why they continue to do harmful things 145 00:08:01.110 --> 00:08:02.160 to their children 146 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.683 like abandonment or abuse or neglect. 147 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:08.220 And so once they have that understanding 148 00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:09.510 then they realize that 149 00:08:09.510 --> 00:08:13.833 okay, well I can change that in my life. 150 00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:20.060 I can release it in a way where I'm not holding onto it. 151 00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:23.070 And that's the only thing I think about every day 152 00:08:23.070 --> 00:08:25.570 from the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed. 153 00:08:27.090 --> 00:08:29.670 So we put it in their hands to say 154 00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:30.780 and in a cultural way 155 00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:33.963 that you have a responsibility to create your own destiny. 156 00:08:35.010 --> 00:08:38.940 And once they realize that they have their own control 157 00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:40.590 over the issue 158 00:08:40.590 --> 00:08:41.917 then they're able to 159 00:08:41.917 --> 00:08:46.170 not let everything go as if it didn't happen 160 00:08:46.170 --> 00:08:50.730 but to evaluate that and realize that 161 00:08:50.730 --> 00:08:53.295 that trauma and what they experienced 162 00:08:53.295 --> 00:08:55.443 doesn't make them who they are. 163 00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:59.800 They can learn from it, they can grow from it 164 00:09:00.660 --> 00:09:04.110 and then they can turn around and leave it in the past 165 00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:05.670 and move forward into the future 166 00:09:05.670 --> 00:09:07.890 by what comes out of their mouth 167 00:09:07.890 --> 00:09:09.090 how they choose to think 168 00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:10.490 and how they choose to feel. 169 00:09:11.520 --> 00:09:15.030 So that's empowering for them to be able to do that. 170 00:09:15.030 --> 00:09:18.540 In a lot of scenarios 171 00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:21.033 a lot of the the abuse doesn't go reported. 172 00:09:21.930 --> 00:09:24.820 And so they stuff it and they keep it inside 173 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.200 and they're the ones you see usually in the communities 174 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.435 who are creating more chaos 175 00:09:30.435 --> 00:09:32.550 creating more disturbance 176 00:09:32.550 --> 00:09:35.040 you know, continuing and perpetuating 177 00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:37.200 the lateral violence that goes on 178 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:38.853 in reservation communities. 179 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.380 So we've had many successes 180 00:09:43.380 --> 00:09:46.240 in terms of the amount of children that we've seen 181 00:09:47.430 --> 00:09:51.660 versus the other forms of treatment 182 00:09:51.660 --> 00:09:54.423 which continue to see them revolve through the door. 183 00:09:56.310 --> 00:09:57.900 So we know that culture works 184 00:09:57.900 --> 00:10:01.050 we know that the orientation process works 185 00:10:01.050 --> 00:10:03.960 because it actually allows them the ability to heal 186 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.790 in a holistic manner 187 00:10:05.790 --> 00:10:09.157 as opposed to seeing a psychologist for mental issues 188 00:10:09.157 --> 00:10:14.157 or having to go to a priest for spiritual issues. 189 00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:16.530 And then they have to tie that in somehow 190 00:10:16.530 --> 00:10:18.393 with the holistic themselves. 191 00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:22.050 So we provide a holistic understanding 192 00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:24.210 through our orientation, through the creation story 193 00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:25.850 and then through the ceremonies. 194 00:10:25.850 --> 00:10:29.100 - With this program, Arlana and Larry's program 195 00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:31.320 they teach you, they take you into ceremony 196 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.320 they teach you the creation story, they show you things 197 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.890 the cooking, the everything, the gender roles. 198 00:10:37.890 --> 00:10:41.070 And that's not something that we're taught in school. 199 00:10:41.070 --> 00:10:43.230 It's something that Native Americans were told 200 00:10:43.230 --> 00:10:44.310 you can't do this. 201 00:10:44.310 --> 00:10:46.530 You cannot do this. It's wrong. 202 00:10:46.530 --> 00:10:50.070 And so even my mom growing up, she never prayed 203 00:10:50.070 --> 00:10:52.500 she never spoke her language. 204 00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:54.510 My grandma never spoke her language. 205 00:10:54.510 --> 00:10:57.303 They were always afraid they were gonna get in trouble. 206 00:10:58.950 --> 00:11:00.240 So for me 207 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.890 that cultural part of that program 208 00:11:01.890 --> 00:11:03.480 was really, really important 209 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.070 cause I didn't know a lot about it. 210 00:11:05.070 --> 00:11:08.610 - So the evaluation was a little bit daunting. 211 00:11:08.610 --> 00:11:11.160 As I say, when we got to that. 212 00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:13.620 However, having the team through 213 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:17.070 the Center for Native Child and Family Resiliency 214 00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:21.840 and our own on the ground who I've, over the years 215 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.860 have been mentored by 216 00:11:25.260 --> 00:11:28.050 I knew that we really looked at that world view 217 00:11:28.050 --> 00:11:29.730 world relational view 218 00:11:29.730 --> 00:11:33.390 that Lakota practice model of view. 219 00:11:33.390 --> 00:11:37.620 So that's when it started coming into like a concept 220 00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:42.620 like, oh this is what we do, this is how we do it. 221 00:11:42.690 --> 00:11:46.050 We're gonna tell them what we need to look at. 222 00:11:46.050 --> 00:11:48.750 - I wanted to do my practicum 223 00:11:48.750 --> 00:11:51.150 with the Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center 224 00:11:51.150 --> 00:11:54.030 cause not only do they advocate for the the children 225 00:11:54.030 --> 00:11:56.568 but they work with the courthouse and the tribal 226 00:11:56.568 --> 00:11:57.600 (clears throat) 227 00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.970 other tribal programs in the tribe 228 00:11:59.970 --> 00:12:04.970 to help strengthen our convictions for the offenders. 229 00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:09.165 But not only that, they work with the families 230 00:12:09.165 --> 00:12:10.900 who are non-offending 231 00:12:12.749 --> 00:12:15.600 and they focus, their main focus is the children. 232 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.210 And that's always been something I wanted to do all my life 233 00:12:18.210 --> 00:12:21.750 with something to help the children feel better. 234 00:12:21.750 --> 00:12:24.420 And just watching Arlana and Larry work 235 00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:27.000 you could see them lift some of these children up 236 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.790 and that's hard to do with some of what they've been through 237 00:12:29.790 --> 00:12:31.950 cause kids don't talk about it. 238 00:12:31.950 --> 00:12:33.990 - I think that it was really a blessing 239 00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:38.990 that we were able to acknowledge someone who's right there 240 00:12:39.030 --> 00:12:42.700 someone who's working in our local setting 241 00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:45.663 with Oglala College. 242 00:12:47.955 --> 00:12:50.550 And that they too can get that 243 00:12:50.550 --> 00:12:53.850 that professional mentorship 244 00:12:53.850 --> 00:12:55.840 mentorship from our leaders 245 00:12:57.602 --> 00:12:58.920 and working with the children. 246 00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:02.460 And I think that she, too, has validated 247 00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:04.643 how useful that was. 248 00:13:04.643 --> 00:13:06.720 Not only getting her education 249 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.930 but to be able to be there, hands on and work. 250 00:13:09.930 --> 00:13:12.870 So very, very beneficial. 251 00:13:12.870 --> 00:13:14.250 Very beneficial. 252 00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:19.250 Not for us as a program, for her as an individual 253 00:13:19.800 --> 00:13:22.950 but for the children and for the families. 254 00:13:22.950 --> 00:13:24.300 Cause we did a lot of work 255 00:13:24.300 --> 00:13:29.010 being able to really provide that mentorship 256 00:13:29.010 --> 00:13:31.920 as I was mentored along the way all these years 257 00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:35.400 being in the program for over 23 years 258 00:13:35.400 --> 00:13:37.800 and then decades, over three decades 259 00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:39.660 of working in a child welfare system 260 00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:40.770 child protection system 261 00:13:40.770 --> 00:13:43.050 how important that is. 262 00:13:43.050 --> 00:13:43.883 Yeah. 263 00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:46.380 -

And we became successful not because we had deficits 280 00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:40.200 not because we had problems. 281 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.750 We became successful because we talked about 282 00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:45.090 our strengths, our gifts 283 00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:48.750 all the positive things, attributes that were present 284 00:14:48.750 --> 00:14:51.870 within our community, within our families 285 00:14:51.870 --> 00:14:54.720 and all about the positive things that we've seen 286 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.650 for our communities and families in the future. 287 00:14:58.650 --> 00:15:02.370 And this is the context that we want to bring 288 00:15:02.370 --> 00:15:05.130 into the community conversations. 289 00:15:05.130 --> 00:15:08.640 A more positive and strength-based context 290 00:15:08.640 --> 00:15:12.960 and an expansive one that requires a broader cross section 291 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.620 of people, our community and other stakeholders 292 00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:18.570 that are really interested 293 00:15:18.570 --> 00:15:23.570 and have a commitment to eradicating child sexual abuse. 294 00:15:24.870 --> 00:15:28.590 -
