WELCOME
A family oriented mission organization whose purpose is serving others to serve the Lord.
The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Flag
The Blue represents the
Thunder Clouds above the world where live the thunder birds who control the four
winds. The rainbow is for the Cheyenne River Sioux People who are keepers of
the Most Sacred Calf Pipe, a gift from the White Buffalo Calf Maiden. The eagle
feathers at the edges of the rim of the world represent the spotted eagle who
is the protector of all Lakota. The two pipes fused together are for unity.
One pipe is for the Lakota, the other for all the other Indian nations. The
yellow hoops represent the Sacred Hoop, which shall not be broken. The Sacred
Calf Pipe Bundle in red represents Wakan Tanka--The Great Mystery; The Creator. All the
colors of the Lakota are visible. The red, yellow, black, and white, represent
the four major races. The blue is for heaven.
The Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation is home to four bands of the Lakota Sioux.
Through their hospitality and direction our group is able to volunteer in
assisting the Lakota in mending their culture. S.W.A.M.P.-I.N. does this by
the grace given by Jesus and through the Cheyenne River Youth Project. Our
organization helps CRYP not only with Lakota children but their families as
well, including the Elders associated with CRYP through the Nutrition Center.
