What NOT to Bring

Do NOT bring any of the following:

  • Any t-shirt, bag, or any other item with an "Indian" mascot on it. (example: Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Fairfield Indians, etc.) This is NOT accepteable to many American Indians.

  • Fireworks (the climate is often really dry and fires can start easily. We would love to have a campfire each night but it is simply not wise or responsible to do so. Any fireworks will be taken from you.

  • A bad attitude.

Dress Code

To be respectful of the Lakota people, the missionaries, and your team members, please adhere to the following dress code:

Women
  • No short shorts (if you bend over and we can see your butt, don't bring it)
  • No halters, tube tops, spaghetti straps or sports bras without a shirt over them
  • No bare bellies
  • No low cut pants (we don't want to see your undies even if they are really cute)
  • Wear a bra

Men

  • Wear a shirt (we know you're gorgeous)

Shorts and tank tops are fine. It's HOT there so be comfortable but be decent out of respect for others.
