Oglala Lakota College, located in Kyle, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, serves as a tribal college primarily educating members of the Oglala Lakota Nation. Founded in 1971 as the first tribally-controlled college in the United States, the institution operates through a decentralized campus system with instructional sites across the reservation and in Rapid City. The college offers associate, bachelor's, and master's degree programs with emphasis on Lakota language preservation, tribal law, education, and natural resources management. OLC maintains strong connections to Lakota culture and traditions through its curriculum, while its community-based structure allows students to pursue higher education within their home communities.
