Review for St. Joseph's Indian School, Chamberlain, SD, USA
I visited the reservation's list of schools and couldn't find St. Joseph's Indian school. I also noticed that like the reservation in Fort Hall, Idaho, the Indians on the reservation have built a $20 million dollar casino recently. Because of the casino at Fort Hall, the Indians here have raised themselves out of poverty.
They also have raised their self images and can't begin to say how much difference that has made in their self esteem. They have also been able to build a great infrastructure on the reservation including new good schools. More and more of the same Indians are now persuing college degrees and some have become lawyers. The lawyers are now able to help the Indians at the reservation.
They no longer need to send their children off the reservation to schools. Therefore, I don't think we need to donate any money to St. Joseph's Indian School. Also, not being able to find out exactly what St. Joseph's is doing with the money sends up a HUGE reda flag.
St. Joseph's Indian School is located in Chamberlain, South Dakota. Our community is just south of both the Crow Creek and Lower Brule Reservations, but not within the borders of either reservation. All our students are Native American. You can review our financial information at www.stjo.org/report.
