The Axtell Park Middle School in South Dakota began a pilot program last fall which offers a class in Lakota language and tribal and family history.

The class is open to all students at the school. About half of the 60 Native American students at the school are enrolled in the class.

Its curriculum was designed by Deb McIntyre, a diversity consultant from the Multi-Cultural Center and Tim Standing Soldier, a drug and alcohol counselor at Keystone Treatment Center who grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
