They are all are part of a rich oral history passed down for generations. Sharing our experience requires our voice. And our voice requires our breath. Smoking tobacco stifles our traditions. Honor our people. Honor our story. Honor our future.
A Story That Must Be Told.
Don’t let tobacco use prevent us from telling our story. Our people our having their voices taken away by smoking. Keep what’s on our lungs, on our tongues. Tell the story.
Traditions Shouldn't Become Addictions.
When we honor every breath, we honor where we’ve been. Keep nicotine from our lungs… to save more breath for telling our story.
We are steadfast in keeping our families safe from harm. The same goes for the habits we let consume our lives. Tobacco has no place in our communities.
How It Impacts Us
Lakota populations smoke
commercial tobacco at twice
the rate of the general
population. Don’t let it take
our family members, friends
and neighbors from us.
How It Impacts the Vulnerable
The expectant mothers in our
communities are especially
susceptible to the dangers of
nicotine — from cigarettes, to
vape pens, to hookah.
How It Impacts Children
Vape pens, e-cigarettes and
JUUL are being used to get
our youngest community
members addicted. It’s
unsafe, it’s unhealthy and it’s
keeping our children sick.
You Are Not Alone.
We value community and are stronger as a people when we look out for one another. When you or a loved one are addicted to tobacco products, there are ways out of that addiction.
