Wopila

1/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Anpetu Was’te – good morning in the Lakota language. This month’s Lakota word is Wopila which means giving thanks in our Lakota language.  I chose this word as I hope that the new year of 2018 will be a year where we are thankful for our good health and our lives. 
Last time I wrote you all we were scrambling here at SGU getting ready for the holiday season, especially preparing for our annual Elder’s Day Dinner/gathering and it was a great success.   We are now doing registration for the 2018 spring semester and will begin classes on January 16, 2018.  It has been extremely cold here and that makes it a little more difficult for us here, but, it is South Dakota!
We are also starting to prepare for this year’s 48th Founders Week and Wacipi (Pow Wow).  You can get information with regard to the upcoming SGU events on our website.   http://www.sintegleska.edu/
As always, a reminder that you can also check our SGU Foundation Giving Page and remember that we also have our own Facebook page and my blog.  http://www.sgufoundation.org/  &   https://www.facebook.com/sgufoundation/

I hope that you all had a good wonderful and safe holiday. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wopila Tanka!
(A big thank you)

     What Our Donors Are Saying

 “We had a wonderful time there visiting the facilities, visiting the students, visiting the teachers. And it’s very exciting because this year they were able to, through our fundraising, shore up the idea of bilingual education, so they have these little ones learning Lakota and English simultaneously. This seems to be a very central piece to the spirit of the tribe, that the numbers of fluent Lakota speakers have dwindled, which is not a good feeling for the spirit and psyche of the Lakota. So bringing in this very youngest generation and being able to educate them in a bilingual environment is a very hopeful and very progressive thing to do.”
