Impacts
Two former youth clients of the youth training program at Oglala Sioux Tribal Public Safety Kiyuska O'Tipi Reintegration Center visited with trainer in a public store, seemed to have a more positive outlook on life, and were comfortable to acknowledge the trainer in a public setting. Individual youth statements from trainings (as they wrote them) conducted with Oglala Sioux Tribal Public Safety Kiyuska O'Tipi Reintegration Center located in the community of Kyle, SD: 'We used mulch to cover the plants, and also to give the Plants nutrition. To protect the Plants from the wind and sun rays.' 'it taught me how to water Plant's and how to cover them up with grass And how to plant them.' 'That plants are just like humans, they need plenty of sun and water to grow. You mulch and pour tea around them so they won't die.' 'That you need to be strong for yourself, family & teammates when the road gets rough.' 'Don't ever give up on your Dreams. Keep working your way towards what you want.' Salsa test from last year garden produce: 'I liked it, it was hot and Homemade!' 'It was the Best Salsa I ever tasted.' & 'The taste of sweet & spicy in one bite'. The third annual Wazi Paha Festival 2010 hosted by OLC's Agriculture Extension Department had 72 produce entries compared to 34 entries in 2009. This was over a 100% increase in participation in the vegetable contest or 2.11 times the 2009 participation. The size of the participation was surprising because of the high grasshopper infestation of most of the Pine Ridge Reservation grassland area.

Oglala Lakota College's Agriculture/Natural Resource Extension Outreach department assisted the college in reviving the Wazi Paha Festival-Celebration of traditional & contemporary Lakota ways of life in community September 15, 2008. This festival held training, competitive, and social contests in dance, traditional games, horse painted symbol meaning, quilts are examples of the twenty -one events held. An example of contest participation was the social dancing of which there were 57 participants (63% ages 3-12 years old, 17.5% ages 13-17 years old). One of the goals of this event is future recruitment of students to attend Oglala Lakota College through passing on traditional ways of life. Four local businesses setup booths demonstrating their wears for sale to the community (of which 25% was local vegetable produce) (CSREES-KA 802, 803, & 805). OLC's Ag Extension department cosponsored the second gathering of Lakota Elders in December 2008. This was a time of sharing story's & knowledge of the elders with the community's of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (CSREES-KA 802, 803 & 805). During the fall and spring semester, the Ag Extension program worked with the Math & Science Department and Service Learning Program to hold community tree planting workshops at the Pejuta Haka college center in Kyle, SD. This cooperative program was coordinated through two Bio 113 People in the Environment college course (CSREES-KA 124). Trees were also planted through cooperation with the Allen, SD Head Start centers graduation program. Head Start youth were given two small trees to plant at their center & at home with their parents or grandparents (CSREES-KA 124 & 806). Assisted with coordination of Little Wound High School career day spring 2009 (CSREES-KA 806). Kindergarten class at Little Wound High School was aided weekly through the school year with curriculum related to agriculture science and reading. (CSREES-KA806). Colorado State University hosted a horse farer and health clinic within the Wounded Knee district near Manderson, South Dakota. OLC's Ag coordinator attended and passed out factsheets on plants poisonous to horses and anatomy of a horse in Lakota language (CSREES KA- 206, 307, 806). Summer 2009 the Oglala Sioux Tribal Public Safety requested assistance with a summer youth garden training program for youth at risk who were incarcerated because of a violation to public safety codes. The program began in June 16, 2009 and so far, twenty-two youth have participated. To date five to ten percent of the 22 youth have stated that they plan to work harder in high school to improve their grades so they can enter college at OLC (CSREES-KA 806). A local business tree farmer requested technical assistance with a tree issue at a motel in Wall, SD who had purchased his landscape trees form the Cuny tree farm out of Allen, SD. Motel site was and an insect (Cottonwood Beatle) was ID to have infested the trees. Recommendations made to client and website extension literature from other USDA extension programs referenced for future reading on pest control (CSREES-KA 124, 211, 215, & 216). PRODUCTS: Six factsheets were developed for the local area for distribution in hard copy and converted to be loaded up on the departmental web page at http://www.olc.edu/local_links/ag/fact_sheets.htm. The departments home webpage also went through a face-lift, which is a continuing process as the staff, gain more skills in web design and information management http://www.olc.edu/local_links/ag/. OUTCOMES: An OLC student from the Paha Sapa College Center in Rapid City, SD took third place in the American Indian Higher Education Consortium Blackfoot traditional plants, foods, and herbs competition. Agriculture director provided the study key developed by the Ag Director from utilizing the Galileo plant site http://partner.galileo.org/kainaidata/flash/index-main.html . Three of twenty-two students for the Oglala Sioux Tribal juvenile detention program plan to attend college after high school. Twelve new ranchers/farmers requested assistance from the program in the areas of financial management to tree death causes on cottonwoods in Wall, SD motel planting site. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES: The Agriculture & Natural Resource Cooperative Extension Outreach department at OLC conducted tree-planting training in nine of the ten educational communities within the Pine Ridge Reservation service area. Two Wazi Paha fall festivals organized and conducted by the Agriculture & Natural Resource Cooperative Extension staff & the OLC activities committee. Festival designed to honor the local produce growers and the cultural importance of foods & tribal natural resources through the revival of an annual fall festival. The Ag director developed a study key for the Blackfoot traditional plants, foods, & herbs contest for OLC students to study for the AIHEC spring 2009 competition as the teams coach. The OLC student from the Paha Sapa College Center in Rapid City, SD took third place in the competition. As part of the spring 2009 faculty training at OLC the Agriculture director presented a training session on the vision, mission, & purposes of the college. FUTURE INITIATIVES: Plan to develop a culturally appropriate organic gardening curriculum with guidance from the Oglala Sioux Tribe Public Safety Juvenile Detention Center. During the summer of 2010, the curriculum in organic gardening is to be tested. Design the curriculum to motivate juveniles to begin taking control of their future. Continuation of cooperation with the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Agriculture Technology team on educational activities (as the annual Farm & Ranch day in the spring of 2010) related to agriculture or natural resource management. Also, continue to work internally with other college departments as the Math & Science department in setting up community educational activities related to the sciences for youth or community development. Cooperate with other land grant institutions (as South Dakota State University or Colorado State University) extension programs to promote scientific based knowledge in resource management with a Native American knowledge base. Have been requested to assist South Dakota State Cooperative Extension West River Unit with the development of a Beginning Farmer and Rancher program and if we could offer continuing education credits for their training. We will be working with this state program to verifying that together we meet South Dakota's educational standards for agricultural education.
Impacts
Three (10% of summer 2009 Organic Garden training program participants) youth from the Oglala Sioux Tribe Public Safety Juvenile Detention Center stated that they would be looking at improving their high school grades so that they would have a better chance of entering college and be successful. Five ranchers complete financial management training with only one having to repeat part of the curricula for an improvement in score so that they could receive their USDA-Farm Service Agency loans. Over 200/250 local Lakota residents participated in Wazi Paha festival in 2008/2009, of which the major impact was a means to share individual knowledge on how to reach OLC's vision: Wolakolkiciyapi, learning the Lakota way of life in community. The actual contestants in the traditional Pow-Wow dance contest increases 320 percent over the first year (2008/57 contestants to 2009/184). Through this fall gathering of OLC community members the joy of unity and sharing will be passed on to the next generation.

Impacts
Three examples of impact feedback, spring of 2008. Client A from Kyle, SD calls on the phone explains he went into the grocery store, purchased a 79 cent packet of watermelon seeds. While looking at the seeds he made a decision to change my career based on his organic gardening education at OLC. I need to move out of the tribal labor force and begin setting up my own small business. I want to set up a mushroom farm with my family on our land. Can you help me with writing a business plan and locating startup costs? Client B from Oglala, SD also called on the phone to request information on the three sister's gardening method utilized by tribal agriculturists. Client B had been requested to conduct training in Organic Gardening at a local community event. Can you assist me with training materials? Client B is a former student who today is assisting his community by conducting local workshop trainings. Client C called from Denver, CO and visited about the time he was in the Organic Gardening class at Kyle, SD and how he is continuing to grow a garden or house plants since moving back to Denver. He now has a new home and wanted some landscaping advice. Client C requested the variety name of the tall grass we had as a cover crop in the Organic Garden. Who would have thought a tribal college extension program would get a call from Denver, CO for assistance in landscaping.
