Since 2012, Zintkala Luta has been an educational model with services in Minneapolis focusing on cultural preservation, family and social self-sufficiency in health education, with a special focus on Native Culture and Language.
From the Medicine Wheel Teachings Model in promoting a healthy lifestyle in a community setting, we believe in a Comprehensive Philosophy - cultural, social, mental health, and knowledge that implements strategies as an all inter-related goal for the development of a Thriving Native Community in the greater Minneapolis neighborhoods.
Here at Zintkala Luta, we work with goals 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, and computer programming principles.
Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of mindful change through an effective teaching approach that is geared to serve and expose the community to cutting edge technologies, boosting youth education with in-depth teachings of L/Dakota dialects and Ojibwe language in K-12.
