About Sicangu Owayawa Oti 

Welcome to Sicangu Owayawa Oti , a unique educational institution dedicated to helping students embrace the Lakota way of life while providing opportunities for academic growth and personal development. Our dormitory school is designed to provide a supportive environment where Lakota students can immerse themselves in their culture, language, and traditions while pursuing their academic goals.

​

At the Sicangu Owayawa Oti, we understand that education is not limited to the classroom. That is why we offer a wide range of after-school activities that are grounded in Lakota culture, such as traditional dance, music, and art classes, as well as outdoor activities that allow students to connect with nature and learn traditional skills like hunting and fishing. These activities not only foster a deeper appreciation for Lakota culture but also help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.

​

Our dormitory facilities provide a safe and nurturing environment for students, where they can form lasting friendships and learn to support one another as members of a tight-knit community. Students will have access to experienced mentors and teachers who will guide them on their journey to becoming well-rounded individuals who are proud of their Lakota heritage.

​

We are committed to providing our students with an education that is both culturally relevant and academically rigorous. Our curriculum is designed to meet state standards while integrating Lakota history, language, and culture into every subject. Students will receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in college and beyond, while also equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive as members of the Lakota community.

​

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey of discovery and learning at the Lakota Dormitory School. Together, we can help our students develop into confident, capable, and culturally aware individuals who are ready to make a positive impact in the world.
