We are Icahya Woecun: The Place to Grow

Four Bands Community Fund is working diligently on many exciting
projects that are benefiting adults, youth, families, entrepreneurs and
businesses on the Cheyenne River Reservation. And in the months ahead,
we'll continue to fulfill our strategic plan by providing technical and
financial assistance to area residents.

Our strategies for achieving our goals are based on a model called
Icahya Woecun "the place to grow." It applies the Lakota
tradition-movement in a circle that has a beginning and an end, and yet
is never ending, and is based on the sacred number four-representing the
four directions. 

Four Bands combines Icahya Woecun traditions with the wisdom of best
practices for expanding entrepreneurial businesses and offers strategic
business development services in four directions: 1) education, 2)
financing, 3) incubation, and 4) advocacy.
