Donate to Spirit of the Wind
Spirit of the Wind is a charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, meaning donations are eligible for tax deduction.
We are operated almost exclusively by volunteers.
We have recognized the importance of promoting and preserving Native American Culture, Values, and Traditions through strong Community support and our growing role in the Community over the last forty years.
Through our activities, we bring the community together and keep the Native American Culture alive!
One of our main goals for 2025 and 2026 was to include the children in our events, called "Spirit of the Wind for Kids."
Through these events, our "Little Eagles" learn more about our Culture and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
Our first event was successfully held on July 19, 2025, and it was free of charge for the community.
This is a picture of everyone who participated in this beautiful project:
