Learning Lakota

Teacher Roger White Eyes works to ensure that his students at Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation learn Lakota, the native language for the Oglala Sioux people. "I tell my students, this language has a spirit," he says. "It's who you are as a Lakota person." ____________________ Want more stories about schools across the nation, including the latest news and unique perspectives on education issues?
