​November is known on the Lakota calendar as Wa-ni-ye-tu Wi – Winter Moon.  We experienced our first winter snow storm the last few days of October on the Rosebud Reservation, home of Sinte Gleska University, our students, faculty and staff.  The Fall 2020 semester is still going strong.  We’re especially proud of our 900 plus students, our faculty, staff and administration for sharing their knowledge and learning with on-line interaction.
We continue to develop as critical-minded, lifelong learners sustaining our cultural identity and promoting dialogue as we value our diversity through our unique education here at SGU.  We are leaders in education for ourselves, families and communities.
Protection, Prevention and Recovery, are terms we hear daily since the onset of Covid-19 virus that we’ve come to know as a global pandemic.
Lakota oyate (people) have survived many generations by preparing for changes to our everyday life.  Our people Protected daily survival as we followed and hunted wild game, prepared game, root vegetables and berries for sustenance and storage.  Our people Prevented sickness by practicing a holistic approach to individual and family spirituality and use of traditional medicines.  Oyate maintained Recovery through a positive outlook keeping busy individually and as a team to sustain a good quality of life.
We give thanks to our Sinte Gleska University Administration, Faculty, Support Staff and students for inspiration to continue our teamwork that will benefit many.
You are invited to be a team member and support our endeavor here with SGU on the Rosebud Reservation.  Please visit our website http://www.sgufoundation.org/  your charitable donation is tax deductible in accordance with IRS regulations.
Thank you, Wopila

     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.”
