Oglala Sioux

The Oglala Sioux are a Native American tribe, part of the larger Lakota Nation, primarily residing on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. They have a rich cultural heritage rooted in Plains traditions, including storytelling, dance, and ceremonies like the Sun Dance. Historically, they were fierce fighters and respected horsemen who played a significant role in the Great Sioux Confederacy. Today, the Oglala work to preserve their language, traditions, and sovereignty, while facing economic and social challenges. Their contributions are vital to the history and diversity of Native American peoples in the United States.
