Carleton students Sydney Botz 19 and Haley Grable 20 spent the summer of 2017 working with Peter Hill 00, founder coordinator of the Lakota Immersion Childcare at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Hill and his colleagues at Thunder Valley CDC are working to revitalize Lakota language and culture by creating and developing educational curriculum for the next generation of fluent speakers.
