Sinte Gleska, along with Oglala Lakota and Dine College in Arizona are some of the first established tribal colleges in the country.&nbsp; At SGU, we are led by Terry Gray, Sicangu Heritage Center General Assistant, to an introductory class in Lakota language instructed by Tina Martinez.&nbsp; Tina kindly turns her classroom into an opportunity for our students to ask questions of one another.&nbsp; She also shares lessons in Lakota philosophy and language with us.&nbsp; Because our time at Sinte Gleska is so short, we don\u2019t have the opportunity like at OLC, to engage in more substantive conversations about the institution itself.&nbsp; It is good, however, to have the opportunity to visit the campus of another tribal college, if only briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/07\/Zheng-sinte-group-DSC_0715.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/07\/Zheng-sinte-group-DSC_0715.jpg\" alt=\"Zheng sinte group DSC_0715\" class=\"wp-image-5016\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a long day\u2019s drive, we arrive in Yankton, SD, for the evening.&nbsp; This is as good a point as any in our story to describe our traveling arrangements.&nbsp; Our 14 members traveled for two weeks in three mini-vans.&nbsp; This trip was the first opportunity several of us had to visit this section of the U.S.&nbsp; Our vans provided us with comfortable flexibility when not all of us participated in the optional activities.&nbsp; A big THANK YOU to our conscientious drivers: Jessica Canas, Matt DeMonbrun, Patricia King, Betty Overton and Melinda Richardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/07\/Can-road-D12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/07\/Can-road-D12.jpg\" alt=\"Can road D12\" class=\"wp-image-5019\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, June 26 Our eastward return home begins and the first stop along our path is Sinte Gleska University (SGU), located in Mission, SD.&nbsp;
