Walking Shield was founded by Mr. Phil Stevens, a Lakota Sioux, in 1986, and for over 30 years we have worked closely with both urban Indian and tribal leaders to provide a variety of services to American Indian families throughout the United States.

We are a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that partners with tribal governments, urban Indian service organizations, state and federal government funding agencies, non-profit grantees, corporate businesses, and foundations to bring our services to our nation’s American Indian communities most in need.
