Vision Statement
Clement "Sonny" Larvie Richards, Oglala/Sincangu Lakota spiritual leader, dedicated his life to helping people heal using traditional Lakota ceremony & healing knowledge. His wish to share Lakota spirituality, language and culture led to the creation of Canku Luta Omani Inc. as a Healing and Cultural Center. Sonny passed away in 2009 leaving a deep void, but his Hocoka (circle of followers) under direction of a Board of Directors, is committed to carrying forward his work.
