Greetings!
Mitakuyapi – Lakota word for All My Relatives
I am Wilma Bear Shield-Robertson, Development Director at Sinte Gleska University SGU. My background is strongly influenced by Lakota tradition. I am a proud alumni of Sinte Gleska University.  
We celebrated our 47thAnnual Graduation and 36thAnnual GED Graduation on Friday, August 23, 2019.  We had 85 University graduates and 19 GED graduates. It was a joyous time to see the excitement and pride expressed by the graduates and their families. The hard work and the achievement in completing their degree requirements culminated on their special day of recognition.
The support and educational experience I received from Sinte Gleska University is available for students and future students who envision a career, a positive and productive life for themselves, their families and communities.
Your generous support to Sinte Gleska University plays a large role in helping us continue our important educational work for student development and to preserve and interpret our evolving Lakota history, Language and culture.

     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.”
