140 Designing ecological Habitats Currently, the primary focus is on sustainable energy systems and production. The Foundation is working very closely with the tribe in these areas, with the result being the creation of a whole new economy on the Reservation. As a closing, I would like to share Michael Sierra’s message to Ta S’ina’s Tokaheya’s Ti O’spaye: When we first began to come together as young men and women, we started a process of restoring our customs and traditions. As a result we became healthier and also restored our own pride and dignity because of the completeness and beauty intrinsic in our way of life. Because of our culture we learned to work towards building a better future for the next seven generations. However, we could see the reality of the conditions our people have been subjected to in America. We realized it would require our full commitment and begin with accepting the responsibility ourselves to change our environment. Ta S’ina Tokaheya culminated to become the focus of our efforts for modeling a way of life that incorporates a foundation based upon continuing the restorative efforts and practices of our Spirituality, that encompasses our role as ‘Caretakers of Mother Earth’, that utilizes sustainable and renewable concepts and technologies, and permits us to endeavor to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Notes 1 Ti O’spaye is the Sioux word for community. Ta S’ina Tokaheya Ti O’spaye is one of many Ti O’spayes throughout the Reservation. In the early 90s, Suzanne Foote helped found and establish Ta S’ina Tokaheya Foundation, later serving as one of the directors. In 1995 she formed Earth Origin Seeds, a program under the Manitou Institute, which focuses on sustainable agriculture and seed preservation. Currently she is serving as the Executive Director of both the Manitou Foundation and the Manitou Institute. Since 1988, the Manitou Foundation has provided land grants and financial support to various wisdom traditions for contemplative retreat centers, educational groups, and environmentally sustainable projects. Through Hanne Strong’s vision, the Manitou Foundation established the world’s largest intentional interfaith community. The Manitou Institute was later formed in 1994 to support local spiritual and environmental projects and programs, and to administer the Manitou Habitat Conservation Program, a local land conservation program.
