Maka akan Wowahwala kte

​December 2017
Kathy Boyd’s Blog
As always Anpetu Was’te – good morning in the Lakota language. This month’s Lakota word or actually phrase is Maka akan Wowahwala kte in our language means peace on earth.  I chose this phrase as it is the holiday season.
We have been busy this past November and are especially busy as we begin December.  We had our annual employee, staff, faculty and student thanksgiving dinner on November 16, 2017 and it was wonderful.  It is always a joy to have our SGU family all come together and celebrate and be thankful for our health and for the year. 
As I write, I am full of anticipation and eager to continue with our fund raising efforts for our Annual Elder’s Dinner to be held on Friday, December, 8th, 2017.  That is one of my favorite fund raising endeavors as it is so overwhelmingly gratifying to see the looks on our elder’s faces with all of the Christmas festivities.
I want to remind you all to be sure and check out of SGU Foundation Giving Page https://www.facebook.com/donate/379541005801050/540989042914576/ and remember that we also have our own Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/sgufoundation/ and don’t forget my blog.
I will be looking forward to sharing SGU information with you all in the 2018 year.  A happy and safe holiday season to you all!
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.”
