The Oglala Lakota Nation is a Native American tribe primarily based on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. It is part of the larger Lakota people, who are one of the three groups that make up the Sioux Nation. The Oglala Lakota have a rich cultural heritage, language, and history rooted in their connection to the Great Plains. They work to preserve their traditions, advocate for their rights, and address challenges such as economic development and access to services. The tribe functions as a sovereign government, managing its own affairs in partnership with the federal government.
