Wawokiye is a traditional lakota value that we bring to the forefront of providing excellent service
Wawokiye is a collective of Native American, American Indian, and Indigenous North American professionals with expertise in consulting, media, web, and writing services. Our mission is to provide thoughtful, intentional support that drives success.
Our team includes a web developer with 23 years of experience, content creation specialists, youth program development experts, and a grant writing professional. Together, we have significantly scaled Native brands through business consulting, professional entertainment and marketing, web development, print magazine publishing, and grant and journalistic writing. Our contributions have supported successful Native fashion media, shows, and events, showcasing the creativity and innovation of our communities.
Through years of collaboration with communities across the Western United States, we’ve identified a growing need for professional development services tailored to Native business owners and entrepreneurs. Our goal is not just to assist but to empower our clients through shared knowledge and skills.
We provide in-house services and partner with a comprehensive network of Black and Indigenous businesses and professionals. Our approach is rooted in cultivating community-centered relationships, building strong connections, and creating a supportive space where members and partners can pursue their entrepreneurial goals. Together, we are cultivating lasting relationships and driving sustainable growth.
