Empowering Indigenous Youth, Inspiring Transformation
About Star Nation Foundation
Igniting Possibilities, Nurturing Healing, and Fostering Empowerment
Star Nation Foundation is a beacon of hope and transformation, founded by Shawn P. Silbernagel, an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and his wife, Alexis Rankin, a certified Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code practitioner. Together, they have dedicated over two decades to education, entrepreneurship, and tribal community development. Their vision was to create an organization that would shift the focus from problems to possibilities, bringing healing, self-awareness, and empowerment to Indigenous youth. This vision was born from their years of work in energy medicine and holistic wellness, and it is at the heart of everything Star Nation Foundation does.
The Foundation is a unique blend of spiritual principles and real-world action, designed to inspire lasting transformation. It is the result of years of dedicated work in the field of Energy Medicine and holistic wellness, combined with over 20 years of experience in education, entrepreneurship, and tribal community development. The Foundation has established collaborative relationships with Discover Healing and Indigenous leaders across the country, further strengthening its commitment to the well-being and empowerment of Indigenous youth. Through these partnerships, Star Nation Foundation continues to make a significant impact, fostering a brighter future for the next generation.

What Sets Us Apart
Uniting Tradition and Transformation for Indigenous Youth Empowerment.
At Star Nation Foundation, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to empowering and educating Indigenous youth. Our programs and initiatives are deeply rooted in Lakota values and bridge ancient Indigenous wisdom with modern energy healing science. We emphasize personal connection and focus on creating positive outcomes rather than simply preventing negative ones. Here’s what sets us apart:
Rooted in Lakota Values
Our work is guided by the Lakota values of compassion (Waunsila), respect, and self-determination. These principles form the foundation of our approach, influencing everything from our program design to our interactions with the communities we serve.
Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science
We believe in the power of combining ancient Indigenous wisdom with modern energy healing science. This unique blend allows us to offer holistic, effective programs that respect cultural traditions while also leveraging the benefits of modern healing modalities.
Emphasis on Personal Connection
We prioritize personal connection, conducting in-person outreach to tribal communities across the United States. This approach allows us to understand the unique needs and aspirations of each community, ensuring our programs are relevant and impactful.
Partnership with Discover Healing
Our partnership with Discover Healing enables us to bring The Emotion Code and related modalities to Native youth and families. These powerful tools offer a path to healing and personal growth, supporting our mission to empower Indigenous youth.
Focus on Creation, Not Prevention
Rather than focusing on what we want to prevent, we focus on what we want to create. This positive, forward-looking approach inspires hope and encourages Indigenous youth to envision and work towards a brighter future.
