Visit the Aktá Lakota Museum to experience a living lesson on the Native American way of life, past and present. As an outreach program of St. Joseph's Indian School, we pride ourselves on not just providing an experience but creating an atmosphere conducive to learning and healing into the hearts of our students as well as our visitors. We have an outstanding collection of cultural, historical and artistic works that relate specifically to the Northern Plains Indian Tribes, the ancestry of the students served at St. Joseph's. Our historical collection honors the past while our contemporary collection represents the creative spirit of today's world. Through your visit you’ll discover that Lakota culture is not just a thing of the past. It's alive and thriving today.
