Cank� L�ta 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.
Many believe that stories about Lakota Tokalas (Kit Foxes) are legends or ancient history. In reality, these warriors are very much alive today, still giving their lives to protect their people. Cank� L�ta was founded by Tokalas, the oldest warrior society in the northwestern hemisphere.
