who we are

Spirit-Led, Our Story:

27 years ago Dallas Chief Eagle purchased a 13-acre farm on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Dallas and Rebecca were working out of their homes providing services to families having a hard time spiritually, emotionally, financially, mentally, or physically. Rebecca shared her dream and vision with Dallas. Dallas shared his dream and vision with Rebecca. Together they have been joined spiritually and have been led on their journey together being spirit-led since 2010.

We immediately applied for loans and used our credit cards to begin a renovation project that, when completed, would serve as a community gathering center. Inipi (Sweat Lodges) were built, and the renovation of the four thousand square foot barn began. We first installed water and sewer lines. We then installed a bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen. We then added a sleeping loft/ meeting room, with both an inside and outside entrance. The barn was then insulated, and a furnace and a wood stove were installed. Up to 300 people have stayed in the house, barn, or camping area while attending a cultural and holistically taught program and distributing donated goods.

In 2013 we were able to ally ourselves with the Mankind Project. This project has developed emotional intelligence activities for men and boys. It was during one of these events that a buffalo appeared. The participants made a buffalo kill and formed a Tatanka Alliance on March 14, 2015.  Our Elders told us we had not had a successful alliance for 150 years. The last alliance occurred when the tribes united and defeated General Custer. Through this alliance, our weekend experiences provide men with useful emotional tools and skills that are woven into our spiritual teachings. We now have four-day gatherings including Boys to Men, Isnati (Womanhood) Camps, Boy Camps, Co-ed Gatherings, Healing of Healers (led by Elders), Holistic retreat, Couples Retreat, and also workshops that include the heart, mind, body, and spirit. The Mankind Project makes it possible through a scholarship fund, through the Tatanka alliance for our people to attend some training and gatherings outside the reservation.

In 2016 an adopted brother was able, to participate in a men’s weekend held at our farm. As a result, he offered the purchase of Tree Haven, a 38-acre site in Yellow Canyon as a possible site for gatherings. His 38-acre property included a 3800 hundred square-foot (32x60) building that is on a paved road with needed renovations. The new location would be a significant improvement because of the muddy travel conditions we faced at the other site. We sold the 13-acre site and bought the 38-acre site for the same price. We moved into the facility in December 2016 and started renovations. We did not foresee all the adventures with what needed to be replaced in the main building and landscaping. It became one project at a time working with one person and family unit at a time to having gatherings four times a year. An adopted brother, sister, and anonymous donor helped us with renovations.

We have completely replaced the water lines and removed insulation, furnace, ductwork, electric lines, lights, internal walls, windows, doors, sinks, tubs, showers, and kitchen. The volunteers from the Mankind Project USA, Indigenous Men’s & Women’s Oyate, Stone Boy Women’s Society, Hollow Bones Zen, Zen Peacemakers, residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation, families, and other friends have donated their services to accomplish this work and to replace almost all the items above. All Nations is a volunteer-based dream guided through ceremonies.

Gatherings have happened since December 2016 on the Tree Haven Site in Yellow Bear Canyon and through the ceremony the ancestors named it All Nations Gathering Center. In 2018 we purchased 80 acres next door to the All Nations Gathering Center, which makes 118 acres to continue building and sharing the visions and dreams for our future generations being spirit-led.

We’ve gutted the main building and continue adding to it. We applied and received a loan. We renovated a commercial kitchen for our gatherings. We renovated and built to have 4 bunk beds, 6 bunk beds cabins, a 16-bed bunk house, a garage, and a shower house. An adopted brother and sister gifted us the round house project we are currently working on and should be completed by the summer of 2024.

Founded by Becky and Dallas Chief Eagle, the center welcomes all peoples from ALL nations. We are planting seeds of love for future generations, and we invite you to join us!
