Jeremy Red Eagle

Jeremy Red Eagle is a member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, on the Lake Traverse Reservation. He descends from the Wahpe kute (Shooters among the Trees) and Wahpetuwan (dwellers among the leaves) people of the Toka nuwan (Enemy Swim) community. He is currently employed at the Sisseton Wahpeton College as an apprentice learning the Dakota language, where he received his Dakota language teaching certificate. He has been actively learning the Dakota language for the past four years. Jeremy has worked with Native American youth from all over Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota for the past decade. One of the many effective methods he uses to reach youth is through the teaching of traditional native games and other cultural activities, by incorporating traditional values and the history of the games.  Jeremy began his work with the International Traditional Games Society based out of Browning, MT. He is currently working on integrating the Dakota language and knowledge of traditional games into one.
