OGLALA LAKOTA COLLEGE COLLEGE CENTER ANNUAL ACTION PLAN: AY 2014‐15 VISION STATEMENT The Lakota philosophy relates to the journey a person takes in becoming balanced. The four values a balanced person needs are mental,
physical, spiritual, and emotional. Just as no single person is exactly the same as another, this philosophy applies and adapts to each individual
and becomes integral to the cohesiveness of Oglala Lakota people. The four traits are connected and so are all the Lakota people. Pajuta Haka
aspires to help each person regain their journey through education and perseverance.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Pajuta Haka college center is to bring together each student, faculty, staff and ultimately the community through education and Lakota
culture. We strive to educate with the understanding that our students will be future leaders in the community. In this way we will move forward together into
the future through hard work and innovative ideas. The goal of the Pajuta Haka College Center is to provide balanced and quality education by way of a clean,
safe, and stable learning environment for each student and to rebuild the Lakota Nation through Education.
