Okiciyapi means “helping one another” and is meant to bring Native families together with people who have skills in singing, beading, the drum, making regalia, etc.  It is a way to help youth learn their cultural ways.  Thus it was originally organized for Lakota/Dakota youth, but has always been open to anyone interested in attending. 

Okiciyapi meets from 6:30-8:00 p.m. each Wednesday in the dining room of Calvary Cathedral.  It is a joint ministry of Calvary Cathedral and American Indian Services.  For more information, contact Marilyn at 334-4060 or at their website.
