Grant Overview
South Dakota’s youth native culture workshops target measurable increases in student knowledge of Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota history as measured by pre- and post-assessments aligned with tribal education standards. The state’s nine tribal nations control education delivery on reservations that comprise 16 percent of the land area. Statewide data indicate that only 8 percent of non-tribal public schools currently incorporate any tribally developed curriculum.
Workshops must be delivered in partnership with one of the nine federally recognized tribes and include at least one elder-approved content module. Geographic constraints require applicants to account for winter travel limitations across the Missouri River divide and the Black Hills region. Population density averages 11 persons per square mile outside the Sioux Falls and Rapid City metropolitan statistical areas.
These outcomes matter because South Dakota’s K-12 enrollment includes 11,400 Native students whose districts receive Impact Aid funding tied to cultural education compliance. Implementation therefore requires documented tribal council resolutions rather than general letters of support.
South Dakota applications differ from those in Nebraska by mandating tribal education department sign-off on all curriculum materials before submission. This procedural step is non-negotiable.
Eligible applicants are South Dakota school districts, Bureau of Indian Education schools, and tribal colleges that can produce enrollment verification and prior-year cultural education participation rates. Budgets must isolate travel, elder honoraria, and material costs by reservation. Awards favor consortia spanning at least two of the state’s four geographic quadrants.
