The Soul of Amerind Nation

Self-Healing Through Connection

We're here to guide individuals through transitions, helping them unearth their roots, embrace the warmth of home, reclaim their true selves, forge meaningful connections, and rediscover the essence of their soul with empathy and compassion.

Where did we Start?

Amerind Soul is an Oklahoma based 501(c)3 with a community

mission on a national level. The outreach began in Atoka

County as assistance for the growing homeless population in

the center of the Choctaw Nation. Known for offering temporary

housing to destitute & meals for the hungry, Amerind Soul has

expanded its mission to service a growing national challenge.

Where are we Headed?

With heartfelt dedication, Amerind Soul has forged partnerships with diverse organizations, uniting in a shared mission to support marginalized voices through their transition periods. Our collective efforts enable us to extend vital services, impacting countless lives nationwide. By addressing the stigma of mental health and suicide prevention, digitizing millions of documents to ensure a seamless journey into our shared heritage, and fostering STEM programs to shape brighter futures, every endeavor is imbued with passion and purpose. Through these initiatives, we aim to provide the necessary support and resources for marginalized individuals to navigate their transitions with resilience and confidence.

Mission

To empower marginalized individuals through their transition periods. By focusing on education, cultural preservation, and holistic support, we aim to provide the resources and assistance necessary for successful transitions and self-discovery. Together we can be the change by:

Digitizing Historical Records: We aim to safeguard the rich cultural history of marginalized communities by converting physical records into digital formats. This ensures that valuable historical documents are preserved for future generations and made accessible so that we can help them learn from their past and rediscover who they truly are.
Promoting Mental Health and Suicide Prevention: We provide resources and support systems that address mental health challenges within marginalized communities. Our initiatives focus on creating safe spaces, offering counseling services, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the incidence of suicide.
Offering Educational Resources, Including STEM Training Programs: We believe in the power of education to transform lives. By offering comprehensive educational programs, including training in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), we equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today's competitive world.

By supporting individuals through their transitions, we aim to foster resilience, self-healing, and a deep sense of pride within marginalized communities. Our holistic approach ensures that every individual has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Vision

Our vision is to create a society where every marginalized individual has the opportunity to thrive, fostering resilience and a strong sense of identity. Amerind Soul envisions a future where every disadvantaged voice is empowered through the preservation of heritage and the process of indigenization. We are committed to fostering self-healing and resilience, especially during transition periods, by:

Preserving Historical Records: We strive to maintain the cultural legacy of marginalized communities by meticulously preserving historical records. This not only protects their heritage but also reinforces their identity and sense of belonging.
Supporting Mental Health and Suicide Prevention: Our vision includes a robust mental health framework that supports individuals in their times of need. We envision communities where mental health is prioritized, and effective support systems are in place to prevent tragedies.
Enriching Communities with Educational Opportunities: We see a future where marginalized communities have equal access to educational resources and opportunities. Our focus on STEM education aims to bridge the gap and provide the tools necessary for individuals to excel in their chosen fields.

Through these efforts, we strive to cultivate pride, knowledge, and well-being within marginalized communities. Our vision is a world where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
