An Inside Look

What students are saying about us...

  • “This was a real learning experience. None of us had ever seen this level of poverty; Pine Ridge is one of the poorest communities in the western hemisphere. It gave us perspective. This experience will stay with me forever. I take for granted how much I have. An elder said to us, ‘We’re not wealthy in terms of money, but we’re rich in culture and heritage.’ I’ll use that in my teaching someday.”
