The culture you are born with is the most precious national treasure you can pass on to your children and to the community. It is as rich and natural as the heart of our mother earth. Then our mother is abundant, fertile, and sacred worthy of nurturing and cultivating.
Zintkala Luta is grounded in its rich Native American history, cultural customs and knowledge, and is dedicated to sharing its bounty to families, children, and communities in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are a non-profit organization that cares, loves, and respects our great culture and we are on a mission to preserve it for the next generations to come.
We are proud of the Native American culture that has been passed on to us by our forefathers. Our culture binds us to a strong relationship with nature and with the spirits of our forefathers that guide our path in life. Our morals and values are from the goodness and greatness of the earth and we give back what it truly deserves.
Here at Zintkala Luta, we work with one goal in mind. That is to nourish, cultivate, grow, and share our culture with more people. We design programs and curriculum that teaches children about our language, way of life, health and wellness. Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of preserving the culture through an effective teaching approach that is geared towards teaching service, community garden service, and in-depth teaching of L/Dakota and Ojibwe language in K-12.
Backed by our outstanding credentials in the teaching industry, we are capable and qualified to provide teaching service that adheres to the established best practices and standards. Our holistic approach to teaching creates and strengthens a strong relationship between people and nature. In this way, people understand and appreciate their roots which they continue to grow to pass on to the next generation.
Be proud of your native American culture. Share our mission of preserving who we are. Join us in cultivating, nourishing, and preserving a rich culture that we are born with here at Zintkala Luta!
