Purchase this shirt for $100 and the entire sales proceed will go to purchasing food for one of our ongoing food drives.
$100 is a lot of money, but that amount can quickly be spent on gadgets, dining out, travel, etc. We purchase food at food coops, food banks, etc., so $100 can purchase quite a bit of food. It's enough to make a difference in a family's life.
This shirt was created from two 100 year old photographs, showing buffalo in the Black Hills; also a Lakota on horseback....a look at how it was in South Dakota 100 years ago.
The left sleeve has the Canku Luta (Red Road) logo.
This natural colored short sleeve preshrunk 6.1 ounce 100% cotton shirt is available in S, M, L, XL, 2XL. 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, 6XL (adult sizes).
This shirt was created by Wika Luta Cane, an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota.
Canku Luta, in the language of the Lakota people, means Red Road. The Red Road is the Good Road of Life, the path that we aspire to walk with our children and their children, and ALL OUR RELATIONS.
Cankú Lúta realizes that occasional food drives don’t solve the problem of hunger in Indian territories. Our long-range goals include helping to provide the material support necessary to develop food production and distribution systems which are directed and controlled by the people who live in the under or unserved communities. In the meantime, it is important to get the food and other material assistance to where it is most desperately needed, distributed by grassroots people who are in the best position to determine where and what the needs are. Please support our efforts!
Canku Luta, founded by Tokalas, is a grassroots movement consisting of American Indians and non-Indians committed to the preservation of American Indian customs and culture. The organization promotes the social welfare of American Indians through education and direct services when necessary and appropriate.
Such services include providing food, materials for home repairs, and opportunities for self-employment among grassroots American Indian Peoples. Red Road, Inc. also educates about the practice of ceremonies and medicine of the Laws of Nature which are ancient, traditional, spiritual ways (including language, religion, livelihood and nationhood) as taught by traditional headsmen and elders of all spiritual levels. The teaching of such practices serves to demonstrate the intimate interrelationship of persons and communities with their natural environment. |
