Creates Christmas Magic
When you give today,
you help provide warmth, love
and care to Lakota (Sioux)
children who need it most.
A Century of Care
For 100 years, St. Joseph’s Indian School has remained steadfast in caring for Lakota (Sioux) children and families. It hasn’t always been easy — far from it — but it’s always been worth it.
Become a DreamMaker
The DreamMakers are a special group of friends who give automatic monthly gifts to ensure the Lakota (Sioux) children are provided for year-round … and will help provide dreams for a brighter future.
Because of you, a child woke up today with somewhere safe to call home.

“My husband and I are happy to contribute to St. Joseph’s School children. We give 3 or 4 times a year, and send email Valentines each February. I’ve spoken to a staff member on the phone, received personal voice messages of thanks, as well as Thank You’s from the children. If you read some of the negative reviews, just remember that some people will complain no matter what! St. Joseph’s doesn’t need their negativity or their money. We believe our financial support is going to GREAT people who have an even GREATER need than many nonprofits. We believe in you and thank you for all you do!!”
