Dave Archambault, Sr., Lakota Patriot Born on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Dave Leon Archambault has received the Lakota name Itazipo Wakinyan/Thunder Bow. He holds a masters degree in education administration from Penn State. He has worked as an educator, administrator and consultant at Indian schools and tribal colleges throughout his career. Archambault believes existing and past schooling policies of the U.S. government are effectively genocide, wasting the customs and beliefs of First Americans. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
