Oglala Lakota College Graduate Studies is excited to launch our Lakota Leadership & Lifeways Series this year with a special presentation by Dr. Craig Howe!

“Lakotan Societies as Models for Lakotan Governance”

Tuesday, October 13, 2026
5:30–7:00 PM (MST)
In Person: OLC LaCreek College Center and Virtually: Via Zoom

Dr. Howe, an Oglala Lakota scholar and founder of the Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies (CAIRNS), will explore how Lakotan societies provide meaningful models for leadership, governance, relationships, and collective responsibility.

This session invites participants to consider how Lakotan knowledge, values, and traditional ways of organizing communities can continue to inform leadership and decision-making today.

Our new Lakota Leadership & Lifeways Series is designed to bring together students, educators, community members, and leaders to learn from Indigenous scholars and knowledge holders while strengthening connections between Lakota knowledge, leadership, and contemporary community practices.

This event is open to everyone! Whether you are a student, educator, community leader, or simply interested in learning more, we welcome you to join us in person or virtually.

Please see the flyer for additional information. We hope to see you there!
