How to Donate
​To revitalize our Dakota/Lakota language, equipping students with the tools necessary to achieve high standards of learning and to become conscientious decision-makers, life-long learners and quality citizens of our people and communities.

Our Vision

"Fluent speakers, sovereign thinkers."

​To empower students through the Dakota/Lakota language and culture to become confident, self-directed, self-aware and respectful life-long learners.

Our Families

​Our families provide the foundation for our work. The Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi/Wičhákini Owáyawa recognizes that language revitalization efforts cannot successfully be implemented without the parent generation. Our program is committed to supporting all families in learning, reinforcing, and maintaining our Lakota/Dakota language in the home by providing family language classes, resources and opportunities to use the language.

Our Philosophy

"Wakháŋyeža kiŋ lená épi čha táku waštéšte iwíčhuŋkičiyukčaŋpi kte." -
Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children.

Our Mission

Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi and Wičhákini Owáyawa are dedicated to educating our youngest tribal members in a high quality early childhood Lakota/Dakota immersion setting, bringing parents and community together for the revitalization of our language, values and traditions. We create learning environments that respect each child, their skills and abilities, and honor their heritage with hands-on experiences that are shared directly with parents and care givers. Our sacred children possess the capacity for dual language that will preserve and strengthen our Standing Rock Oyáte.
