Why in the world would to Rosebud Dakota Rosebud Dakota Rosebud Dakota "To celebrate the glory and love of God by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ within and beyond our community of faith."
The Rosebud Sioux reservation covers a land base of 950,000 acres in South Central South Dakota. It is the home of the Sicangu Dakota, a tribal group of the Western Teton Lakota. There are approximately 22,347 tribal members and 10,000 nonmembers who live within the original reservation boundaries. This area covers five counties east to west from the Missouri River to the Badlands and from the Nebraska border 90 miles to Interstate 90. It is the sixth largest reservation in the United States and one of nine Sioux reservations in South Dakota. Rosebud is located in Todd County which is one of the ten poorest counties in the U.S. Located where the Badlands and Black Hills come together, the extreme poverty is a striking contrast to the beautiful surroundings. With most families living permanently in temporary housing, there is a desperate need to provide a safe living environment. The Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council, together with Habitat For Humanity International is committed to providing affordable homes on the reservation.
