Join Tony Ten Fingers as he shares teachings of traditional Lakota wisdom, appreciating the diverse gifts of life and the Earth. Well take a journey of discovery to touch the wisdom that first cultures have to offer our modern world, and how one of the central purposes of culture is to actualize human beings. Learn about tracking animals, food gathering, traditional medicines, and the spirituality that accompanies these activities in traditional Lakota life.

A “master teacher of teachers,” indeed, he has much to offer.
Tony's contributions to suicide prevention in Native communities have been transformational. His work includes being an Indian Health Program analyst, substance abuse clinician, and college instructor alongside practicing Oglala Lakota traditions and ceremonies. Tony received his bachelors degree from Oglala Lakota College, his graduate degree from the University of Hawaii and is currently studying for his doctorate in Psychology.
"Tony Ten Fingers has a very precious gift to give us. Marcel Proust once advised, 'A true journey of discovery is not to see new landscapes but to see with new eyes'"
