About this award

The Sicangu Community Development Corporation received a $782,810 Project Grant from the Administration for Native Americans under the Native American Programs (CFDA 93.612) effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. The "Cultivating Lakota Language Stewards: A Comprehensive Apprenticeship Initiative" is designed to advance language revitalization and cultural preservation within the Sicangu Lakota community in South Dakota. This project directly aligns with the Native American Programs' core objective to promote economic and social self-sufficiency for American Indians through community-driven initiatives that preserve cultural heritage and languages.

The initiative will establish an apprenticeship framework to develop and support Lakota language stewards within the community. By cultivating skilled language practitioners and educators, the project addresses a critical need for indigenous language preservation while building local capacity for sustainable, long-term cultural transmission. This award reflects the federal government's commitment to supporting Native American-led organizations in executing culturally rooted programming that strengthens tribal communities and extends beyond the grant period through embedded community structures.
