My name is Daniel Milks. I am the founder of My XO Adventures. Thank you for visiting my website. Our fourth season is upon us, making it a full circle. It has been a pleasure, joy, and continuous journey to explore and understand the Black Hills, Badlands, Greater South Dakota, and the indigenous people that inhabit this part of the world. It is essential to acknowledge the Lakota people. Their contribution as caretakers, storytellers, protectors, and beauty cannot be understated.
My XO Adventures recognizes that the land upon which we work is Lakota territory. Specifically, we would like to thank those of Pine Ridge (Oglala), and Rosebud Reservation (Sicangu). These are our closest neighbors and members of our community. Our company along with others benefit from the colonization of this land stolen in 1877. The Lakota as well as many other indigenous peoples have been forcefully subjected to removal and genocide.
As we make our way through this journey, we strive to build authentic relationships within the Native American Community. We learn in many ways, but we find direct interaction the best. Learning can be both painful and rewarding. Our intent is to share the stories we learn, reach out to the Lakota people for help, and compensate them fairly. We currently employ Native American community members as guides, storytellers, educators, and in our operational work.
You may find this statement to be what is called a "Land Acknowledgement." However, these statements mean nothing without action. When you select our tours, we'll do our best to tell the story of both past and present. We encourage you to choose our Black Hills Native American Experience or Native American Awareness Experience. Both create a safe place to learn and ask questions. We also ask that you donate to Lakota Funds, an organization that strives to improve the economic sustainability on the Pine Ridge reservation.
