    1848: Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty is signed today.

    Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
    Treaty of Guadalupe (1848)


     1887: A law is passed which will prohibit the use of Indian languages in schools. 

    "In the difference of language to-day lies two-thirds of our trouble. ...  Schools should be established, which children should be required to attend; their barbarous dialects should be blotted out and the English language substituted" (quoted in Atkins, 1887).

    SEASON GIFTING...
    It is that time of year again when we begin to think of winter cold and those in need.  Helping hands list...

    {click for KOTA weather}

    HEATING FUND
    Emergency heating funds....the weather has turned sharply colder and it appears that it will be a much colder winter than the last few we have experienced creating an incredible hardship for many.
    Money orders sent to the Grass Roots Oglala Lakota Oyate will be distributed (or paid on account) for those in need of heating assistance.  In effect we will be creating a "voucher" system.  Your donation may be of any amount and several put together to meet minimums necessary for orders.
