St. Joseph's Indian School Holds Thisyóšpaye Challenge for the First Time!

A ripple of colorful ribbon skirts caught the breeze in contrast to the winter-dull grass and signaled, “Something special is going on here.” That’s right! This week, while the sun did its vernal equinox balancing act over the equator giving equal energy to the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, students at St. Joseph’s Indian School were busy welcoming spring differently – giving equal energy to academic, cultural, linguistic and athletic pursuits in the school’s first Thiyóšpaye* Challenge. The three-day challenge pitted students by campus home in competitions that included a hot-shot shoot-off, a Lakȟóta knowledge and culture bowl, a hair-braiding contest, a Lakȟóta language bowl and hand games. An art exhibition showcased student talent. St. Joseph's Indian School, an apostolate of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart, partners with Native American children and families to educate for life -- mind, body, heart, and spirit.
