Stories from our Lakota Indian School
From Hee-Haws to Cheep-Cheeps: New Voices of St. Joseph’s Equine Therapy Center
For a while, the only animal sounds coming from the Equine Therapy Center at St. Joseph’s Indian School came from our therapy horses. It was common to hear Pony Boy let out a neigh when he commanded a snack, or a whinny from Gramma when she was keeping the rest of the herd in line.
Meet Mr. Buck: A New Furry Friend at the Equine Therapy Center
Meet Mr. Buck, a light brown Holland Lop rabbit with soft ears and an even softer personality. While he may be much smaller than the horses that call our barn home, he’s already making a big impression on everyone who meets him.
One Second. One Shot. One Unforgettable Moment
The intensity was turned all the way up for the staff vs. students basketball showdown at St. Joseph’s Indian School. It was clear this wasn’t going to be just a regular basketball game. Both teams came in confident, competitive and ready to prove a point.
Embrace a Child in a Circle of Care
The DreamMakers are a special group of friends who give automatic monthly gifts to ensure the Lakota (Sioux) children are provided for year-round.
For as little as 32 cents a day, 100% of your monthly contribution will go directly to helping meet our students’ immediate needs … and will help provide dreams for the future.
