About One Nation Walking Together
One Nation Walking Together began with a simple vision: people helping people. Founded in the mid-1990s by Elaine and Bill Glynn in a Colorado Springs garage, the organization grew from Elaine's craft-making efforts into a thriving nonprofit serving Native American communities across the region. Inspired by the historical words of Susan La Fleshe Picotte, the first Native American woman doctor who documented the harsh conditions facing Native peoples over a century ago, ONWT recognized that these disparities persist today. What sets One Nation Walking Together apart is their philosophy that this is not about a cause, but about genuine human connection and community care. Based in Colorado Springs, CO, the organization has evolved significantly since its humble beginnings, developing critical relationships with tribal communities and expanding programs that address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability. Under dedicated leadership and with the support of passionate volunteers and staff members, ONWT has transformed into a substantial force for change, delivering hope and essential services to Pine Ridge, Rosebud, and reservations throughout Colorado and neighboring states. The organization's commitment extends beyond material aid to include cultural celebration, education, and advocacy. One Nation Walking Together represents a community-driven approach to service, where every donation and volunteer hour reflects a deep respect for Native American dignity and self-determination. Their story is one of persistence, compassion, and the transformative power of neighbors helping neighbors.
