Summary: Lower Sioux envisions a continuum of vibrant, culturally grounded educational opportunities for children birth to post-secondary school that promotes their personal well-being as well as the well-being of the Community. This vision aligns with the tribe’s long-range Strategic Plan and Life-Long Learning Goal and builds on our recent language and early childhood education accomplishments. To build this effective, culturally grounded educational pathway for our children, Lower Sioux seeks to establish its first ever Tribal Education Department.
