Little Wound School

Today, Little Wound School’s mission remains unchanged: To provide a sacred environment for students to achieve academic and Lakota language and cultural excellence. All our students receive Lakota language instruction from kindergarten through graduation, students take classes in tribal government and Native American studies, and they have the opportunity to attend cultural activities throughout the year. Our students are also some of the most incredibly talented people in the nation: they include Gates Millennium Scholars, INFR world champion bull riders, Lakota Nation Invitational tournament winners, actors, published poets, and more.

We invite you to become a part of our Mustang tiospaye (family). Whether you’re a student looking to enroll or an adult looking for the next step in your career, we are confident that you’ll find Little Wound to be a welcoming and hospitable school district. Cante waste yuha—we greet you with a warm heart: come and discover why so many people have said, “Once a Mustang, always a Mustang.”
