Visit the Akta Lakota Museum to experience a living lesson on the Native American way of life, past and present. Each year we receive thousands of visitors from all over the globe that want to deepen their appreciation of Lakota culture. As an outreach program of St. Joseph's Indian School we pride ourselves on not just providing that experience but creating an atmosphere conducive to learning and healing into the hearts of our students as well as our visitors. What makes our museum such a wonderful experience is our focus. 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. We work closely with Indian artist and artisans to present contemporary artwork that builds on cultural traditions while expressing itself in new ways. What you take away from your visit is the understanding that Lakota culture is not just a thing of the past. It's alive and thriving today.
We stopped on a fluke. Learned so much about the boarding school and about the Sioux peoples. It’s a beautiful facility and it’s free. BUT please make a donation!

We stopped here in August 2019 while traveling across the country and truly enjoyed it. The interpretive center was small, but nicely done and is filled with little treasures to discover and exhibits to explore. Our kids (ages 8 & 10) especially enjoyed the "boat" that can be climbed into on the second floor, and that serves as a balcony. It's a clever use of architecture and makes the most of the space. The entire site is laid out thoughtfully, and allowed us to get a sense of how the area may have been experienced by Lewis and Clark. We enjoyed a brief picnic lunch outside and also spent time walking around the impressive "Dignity" statue, which left an impression on each one of us. My 10-year-old says, "This was one of the coolest rest stops we've ever been to!" I would have to agree.
