Lessert Moore

(enrolled member Oglala Lakota Sioux) grew up on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations in South Dakota. He is a Sundance Chief, dedicated to sundance ceremony ways for 45 years. He holds an A.A. degree in drug and alcohol counseling and has extensive teaching experience: University of Colorado & New Mexico, UCLA, Aspen Institute, Omega Institute, Sinte Gleska University. His lectures cover a wide range of topics in Lakota culture: spiritual philosophy, legends, origins of the ceremony, 7 Lakota virtues and the interrelationship of all beings.

Decades of healing work combined with his activism for Native American rights (Wounded Knee 2, Standing Rock) enable Lessert to bring deep insight into sacred activism. His lifetime of service across the U.S. has been dedicated to the mending of “The Sacred Hoop,” helping individuals and communities heal…and the protection of Mother Earth.
