Can-wa-pe-ka-sna Wi – Lakota for “the moon when the leaves fall”
Students at Sinte Gleska University are eagerly involved with their on-line distance learning classroom method. Through zoom class meetings/google meet, students can participate individually as they learn from their instructor and classmates. Students are working and achieving success during this time of virtual learning due to the world pandemic.
Our Lakota oyate (nation) ancestors lived daily with the uncertainty not knowing where their next meal would come from and their basic needs of survival. Readiness and preparation for uncertain times was an important learning experience for our children, adults and elders. We can look back at the bravery and survival of our ancestors, that through their experience, we are here today.
Our students make use of the opportunities offered at our unique post-secondary institution available on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. The university’s staff, faculty and administration surround all students with a support system rooted in our Lakota culture in preparation for the future to be ready, prepared and to be part of a positive workforce with the Oyate to maintain good choices for a productive, healthy lifestyle.
Your generous support to Sinte Gleska University plays a large role in helping us continue our important educational work for student development and our work to preserve and interpret our evolving Lakota history, language and culture.
