Winyans of Shred

          Winyans Of Shred (translated from Lakota to English, means Ladies/Lil Ladies of Shred) 

We are committed to increasing the number of girl participants, recruiting new skaters and mentors throughout the year. While boys still outnumber girls, we are working to create more opportunities for women and girl skaters across the spectrum. In 2021, we launched the Winyans of Shred Skate Team offers one to one mentoring pairing each girl with an older youth/young adult woman. Attendees shred in the Winyans of Shred  "Best Trick" and Demo at the Toby Classic.  THe Winyans of Shred is about providing a platform for young Lakota female skaters to shred,  to gain confidence and to empower them through skateboarding. Our goal is to gift these young women with educational  and health and wellness resources so they can become their BEST selves - to SHINE BRIGHT.


The Winyans of Shred logo was created and designed by Mariam Runs After, Oglala Lakota artist and a Winyan of Shred. A BIG WOPILA TANKA "Many THANKS" to Mariam for her amazing and beautiful vision in capturing the Winyans of Shred logo.

Winyans of Shred Caly Poly Ponoma NATIVE Pipleline to College Candidates

Less than 1 percent of Native young adults attend college. Students seeking higher education often struggle to find role models, leave the reservation or connect with a support system that can relate to them.


The Natives Aiming to Inspire Values in education (NATIVE) Pipeline program is working ot change that. The only program of its kind in the CSU system, it introduces students to college while they are still in high school, through a week-long program hosted at Cal Poly Pomona. The primary focus is on three areas: culture, academia and leadership. Oyate Wookiye assists eligible Winyans of Shred candidates with the application process and provides assistance in attending the Native Pipeline summer camp in Pomona, CA.

Toby Classic - Winyans of Shred"Best Trick" Event

At the 20th Annual Toby Classic, August 5-6, 2022, the Winyans of Shred made history as the 1st all female skate event.

It took courage for the Winyans of Shred to skate at the Toby Classic - they were AMAZING, COURAGEOUS, FEARLESS and BAD A**.  Winyans across the Rez aspire to BE like them and SHINE like them, a FIRE was ignited and WE inspire to shred like you, Winyans of Shred.
