Earth Initiatives : The Black Hills Unity Concert
We are currently looking for volunteer team leads as well as input on this year’s content.
Founded in 2014, The Black Hills Unity Concert promotes a greater understanding of indigenous peoples among the general public regarding American Indian and Alaskan Native peoples and rights.
We pray for a resolution to this issue — bringing together Indigenous Nations with those on the right side of justice to return the guardianship of the Black Hills to the Great Sioux Nation.

The Black Hills Unity Concert is a gathering of members of the Pte Oyate (Buffalo Nation, also called the Great Sioux Nation), artists, performers and concerned global citizens committed to educating and raising support for the Black Hills Initiative. Its organizers and participants believe that the only way for the United States of America to be truly great is to honor its word. Honor the treaties. Join us in healing the Heart of a Nation by restoring the guardianship of the Black Hills to the Great Sioux Nation.
The Black Hills Unity Concert is free and open to the public. For more information on the Black Hills Unity Concert including venue location, schedule of events, list of performers and lodging please visit theunityconcert.com
