I'STA

Anpetu Was’te – good morning in the Lakota language. This month’s Lakota word is I’sta which means eye in our Lakota language.  I chose this word because last week we hosted - Native Eyes Project, June 4-9th where over 1,300 people were screened during the free eye clinics conducted at our Multipurpose Building. The sponsoring organization, Artists for World Peace, announced that this effort will continue for the next three years.  This was one of the most remarkable events that has happened here on the Rosebud for some time.  Please go our website for some of the live streaming that was done throughout this event.  
Along with this great event, we here at Sinte have started the summer session classes and we are eagerly awaiting the move in of our spectacular new Mike Benge Student Union.  The actual completion of the building is done, but we are still doing some installation of the kitchen and finalizing the ordering of our furnishings.  So, if you feel obliged to help us in any way in our endeavor, please, go to the Giving page on our SGU website.
I want to remind as I always do, go to our web site and check out the current events, news and upcoming events and you can also
​go to the youtube channel

And, as I stated above please remember that you can also check our SGU Foundation Giving Page http://www.sgufoundation.org/ and remember that we also have our own Facebook page and my blog.
See you next month and please remember to watch for Sinte Gleska Updates and News on our Website.
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.”
