Racing Magpie announces Spring 2026 Sinew Fund recipients
Three artist-led projects received $10,000 grants through Racing Magpie’s Sinew Fund to support community-based cultural work in Lakota communities
Racing Magpie selected three collaborative projects to receive $10,000 grants through its Spring 2026 Sinew Fund, according to a Lakota Times article highlighting the recipients. The fund supports Oceti Sakowin visual creatives working on artist-led, community-based projects in Lakota communities across the United States.
The recipients include the “Ma Lakota Project,” led by Amanda Takes War Bonnett and Jennifer Young Bull Bear, which will host workshops on traditional crafts on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Another funded project, “Creative Regenerations,” led by Donald Montileaux and Keith BraveHeart, will guide students and staff at Rockyford School in creating a ceramic mural installation. “Sovereign Selfies,” led by Adonica Little-Hamilton and Teslah Knight, will create an interactive art installation featuring Oceti Sakowin design elements at the Black Hills Powwow.
