The Native American Suicide Prevention Organization (NASPO) aims to educate the youth, parents, schools and Native American tribes of the state of South Dakota about the prevalence of suicide among the Native American peoples, the warning signs indicating a person is at increased risk for attempting suicide, strategies for intervening with those at risk for attempting suicide and the availability of resources on and off the reservations, in order to reduce the risk of suicide in the state of South Dakota.
NASPO is dedicated to furthering effective culturally based suicide prevention strategies through collaborative activities and information sharing in order to save lives.
The Native Americans Suicide Prevention Organization was founded in 2010 from the recognition that collaboration between like organizations would help pool resources and strengthen member organizations ability to effect positive change in the suicide prevention arena. NASPO members are dedicated to working with each other and the private sector to help advance the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and Objectives for Action, to encourage performance measures, and to share information and resources to further suicide prevention.
This document lays out a framework for action and guides development of an array of services and programs that must be developed to prevent suicide. It is designed to be a catalyst for social change with the power to transform attitudes, policies, and services. Our goal is to improve the health and well-being of Native people through the prevention of suicide in a culturally based manner.

SHARK investigators expose the cruelty and outright lies of the Clem McSpadden 2009 Steer Busting Finals, sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).
Steer busting is the most dangerous event in rodeo. The PRCA is the only major rodeo association to sanction this obvious animal abuse. When an organization has no problem sanctioning such abuse, you may expect it will have no problem lying about it either.
Rodeo announcer Charlie Throckmorton falsely claims that the rodeo works “in complete harmony” with the American Humane Association (AHA), a flat out lie. The AHA released a subsequent statement completely and absolutely refuting Throckmorton’s nonsensical claim.
Requests to PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman for a public retraction and apology have gone unanswered, demonstrating once again the condition of ethics and bravery of the rodeo industry — nonexistent.
