Canku

Anpetu Was’te- Good Day in the Lakota Language.  Sinte Gleska University’s SGU Fall/Winter classes for new and returning students are off to an energetic start. The SGU Faculty and Staff provide a positive and supportive learning environment for students to develop individually and within the group setting in their classes.
On August 23, 2019 in conjunction with our 47th Annual Graduation we held the ribbon cutting to officially open our new paved road to our lakeside campus.
Canku is the Lakota word for Road. We need roads to where we are going.  In our Lakota language Canku can be thought of as a pathway on our way to achieve our goals in life.  We are extremely grateful to all the people who made our new paved road a reality. Wopila tanka Iyuhala – a big thank you to all in the Lakota language.
You can view the new road ribbon cutting ceremony on our www.sintegleska.edu website.
Please visit our SGU Foundation Giving Page http://www.sgufoundation.org/ to donate in support of our students and university.  Your donation is greatly appreciated and is tax-deductible in accordance with IRS regulations.
Wopila – Thank you
Wilma Bear Shield-Robertson

     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.”
