Preserving and sharing Lakota (Sioux) culture with Native American children in need, especially those living on South Dakota's Indian reservations, is a core goal at St. Joseph's Indian School.

Though poverty, addictions and violence make headlines from South Dakota's Indian reservations, it's the traditional Lakota culture that holds so much hope and pride for the Native American people.

Teaching Lakota, primarily Sioux, children at St. Joseph's Indian School about their Lakota culture gives the youngsters sense of pride and belonging.

Sharing Lakota culture and beliefs with people across the nation brings awareness and hope to the Native American children in such need. Follow the links below to read some of our students’ favorite Lakota (Sioux) stories.
