Serving Our Youth
Our passion lies in helping all youth reach their full potential.
Welcome to the Patricia Locke Foundation online course page!
Patricia A. Locke (Tȟawáčhiŋ Wašté Wiŋ - “Compassionate Woman”), was a member of the Lakota (Hunkpapa band) and White Earth Chippewa (Mississippi band). She fought for the education of American Indians and played a leading role in the founding of seventeen tribally run colleges in the United States. We were founded by her son; Kevin Locke. Both our namesake & founder believed in Indigenous values, preservation of indigenous languages, the nurturing of youth, and using the arts to build bridges across cultures — values that remain at the heart of our curriculum.
Our content features traditional cultural arts of Indigenous North America. Materials are designed for all - regardless of geographic location or background. They can be used to discuss character & virtues, as supplemental materials for reading, writing and comprehension; arts and music appreciation, and more.
Most importantly, we infuse the spirt of our founder in all we do. We recognize the nobility of youth. The arts play a major role in our programming. We believe in the oneness of humankind.
Wheher you are a educator, children's class teacher, parent, or have an interest in indigenous culture, we invite you to learn more about us.
We're glad you're here.
