I'm not quite sure. I donate to a Catholic School in South Dakota, who are raising at risk Sioux Indian children and housing them. The school also takes care of the far flung community of adults with food and heat assistance at times.

Unlike the children who were schooled in Canada by Catholics, these children are taught their native culture and language. There is a small stable with horses, and the children know their native dances and so on. However, they are simultaneously being raised as Christians and celebrate Christmas. I don't see too much conflict in this. The children have to live in the real world, and they don't need culture shock on top of everything else they have had to endure.

The school sends me dream catchers and so on as part of their fund raising, and I do not keep them. I realize it is part of their culture, but it is not part of mine.
@4meAndyou Around the Pine Ridge area?
@4meAndyou I do too in SD and Montana.

@DarkHeaven Yes, quite near there. @soar2newhighs Glad you donate. It's important to make sure kids are safe and not living in dangerous circumstances.
@4meAndyou it’s a tough area. Bless you.
