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.
