Scope and Contents note

Scope and Contents note
Photographs made during a visit by four Sinte Gleska University students to the National Anthropological Archives reading room on April 17, 1981. The photographs depict the students (including David Beaulieu, Stanley Red Bird, and Mary Sue Walking Eagle) with Rose Robinson (Hopi) of the Phelps Stokes Fund and Wilton S. Dillon, Smithsonian director of seminars and symposia and coordinator of the exhibit. The photographs were probably commissioned by the NAA.

Biographical/Historical note

Biographical/Historical note
Sinte Gleska University in Mission, South Dakota, was establshed as a two-year college in 1970 and became a four-year institution three years later. Named for the Brulé chief, Sinte Gleska (Spotted Tail), it is a member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium and aims "to plan, design, implement and assess post-secondary programs and other educational resources uniquely appropriate to the Lakota people in order to facilitate individual development and tribal autonomy." In 1981, a delegation from the college came to the Smithsonian to see Wilton Dillon, a member of the Board of the Phelps Stokes Fund.
