Greetings, (Mitakuyapi) – Relatives in Lakota Language
Wounspe – Lakota word for Learning
The Sinte Gleska University’s Main Campus and Lakeside Campus are busy gathering places for our students this Fall Semester 2019. 
In our Lakota language Wounspe means learning.  In the Lakota Way of Life we begin learning while nurtured in our mother’s womb, Ina is the Lakota word for mother.  Ina talks, sings and prayers with her unborn child so learning – Wounspe begins and is a process to help us move forward in Life.
Knowledge is everywhere, we can acquire as individuals, within families, or in gathering with others in a classroom setting.  The classroom setting is unique in that individuals are guided under instruction from teachers and from the other student’s interaction.
Kili – is the Lakota word for WOW.  Kili, sums up the atmosphere surrounding students and teachers eager to learn and share knowledge. 
Best wishes to all students, faculty and staff at Sinte Gleska Universtiy  your hard work and team work will benefit many.
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
Willma 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.”
