Growing Up Native American in Modern Day America

Jason Moses aka BraveHeart is a management executive with diverse experience in all aspects of marketing and business/casino operations. He is widely recognized for changing the paradigm for Native American businesses, focusing on empowering tribes with improved business knowledge, rather than simply obtaining long-term contracts for his own company. He is a first-generation Native American entrepreneur and is a nationally recognized speaker on empowering young Native entrepreneurs. Jason was raised in the small rural village of Porcupine on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Born to a 14-year old Lakota girl, too young to raise a child herself, Jason was adopted and raised by his maternal aunt. His adopted parents provided him with travel opportunities that opened his eyes to possibilities beyond the poverty within the reservation borders. After graduating from Little Wound High School on Pine Ridge, Born a Warrior, Jason joined the United States Marine Corps where he traveled the globe, strengthened his character and determination, and opened his world. Since proudly serving his country, he has been engaged in all aspects of business and entrepreneurism. For four years he owned his own successful medical services company. He then took the knowledge and experience he acquired running his own company back home to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation where he served his tribal nation as small business success coach. Eventually he was recruited to join one of his most successful clients, Native American Natural Foods. At Native American Natural Foods, Jason became one of the most prominent faces and voices behind the marketing success of the traditional Native food the “Tanka Bar.” Known nationwide in Indian Country as the “Tanka Bar guy,” he mastered marketing Indian Country businesses. Recognized for his excellence in business and marketing, Jason was recruited to run the marketing department for the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribe’s casinos. Brave Heart is Oglala and Mnicoujou Lakota. He is actively involved in his tribe and deeply committed to his traditional Lakota ceremonies and practices. He travels widely to service his clients throughout Indian Country and for public speaking engagements. #thatndnguy #oglala #lakota #pineridgeindianreservation #osceolagroup #braveheart #nativeamericanhistory #nativeinstruments #nativeamericanindians #nativeamerican #nativecowboy #famousnative #rinconbandofluisenoindians #johnpauldejoria #nativeamericans #LakotaRaised #RezEducated #hawkmedicine #seminole #indigenouscowboy #tribalsovereignty #imyourmascot #WoundedKnee #1890 BraveHeart's Dog Cowboy @cowboyshepherd images 1.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... 2.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... 3.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi... 4.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
