Rosebud Sioux Tribe Collections.
By Resolution of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council, the Lakota Archives & Historical Research
Center is the official archival repository for the records of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
Records transferred are limited in scope, dating 1952-1980 with the bulk dating from the 1970s.
Also in this collection are artifacts collected by the tribe when it operated a museum. These
items were transferred to Sinte Gleska College shortly after it was established in 1971. The
collections contain many fine older pieces, for example a pair of red quilled tipi bags
purchased in the 1930s for the Rosebud Tribal Museum by Nellie Menard, a policeman's hat from
the late 1800s and a fully beaded Doctor's bag. Other items are of more recent origin perhaps
as late as the 1960s.
