Wounded Knee District School

Manderson, SD

Wounded Knee District School is a Tribal Grant school serving K-8th grades. The Mission of WKDS is to educate the future leaders of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The Kwek Society’s founder and Executive Director, Eva Marie, made her first personal period supplies distribution to this school on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 2017, after she was educated about period poverty among U.S. Indigenous students. The Kwek Society supports the period care needs of most WKDS students who menstruate.
