Cangleska, Inc. Men's Re-education Program |
The Cangleska, Inc. men’s re-education program offers court-ordered domestic violence offenders an opportunity to re-examine their behavioral choices, the belief system that drives those choices, and the skills development that will help participants make different and more effective choices.
The program, based on the “ Duluth” model, has been adapted to the unique situation and reality of Lakota men. The power and control wheel has been changed to depict a triangle that shows how unnatural power is hierarchal. Ritual and cultural abuse have been added.
|
|
In the natural world of the Lakota, life is a circle, denoting equality even when there are differences in form and function.
|
 |
Classes are offered one day a week in Kyle (eastern Reservation) and one day a week in Pine Ridge (western Reservation). A third class is available one day each week at the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s Detention facility. Individual sessions and sweat lodge are also available to participants.
The men’s re-education program, in collaboration with Ki Wicasa and Cangleska domestic violence probation, host a nine-day summer camp for selected eligible participants. |
| The camp is held in beautiful Yellow Bear Canyon, an isolated area located in the eastern Pine Ridge Reservation. The camp offers participants information on a wide variety of topics but stresses the importance of learning/re-learning who you are as a Lakota person and what it means in terms of how we live our everyday lives. |
| The Cangleska, Inc. men’s re-education program coordinator is Foster Cournoyer. Foster is committed to ending violence against women and assisting men in reclaiming a belief system that respects women as sacred. |
