Oglala Sioux Tribe

Pine Ridge SD


The Oglala Sioux Tribe is based on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. The reservation composes the poorest county in the United States, with an average household income of $11,200 and an unemployment rate of 30%. As there is very limited access to financial institutions or ATMs on the reservation and as Tribal members often experience discrimination when attempting to borrow funds off the reservation, the Tribe wants to create a community development credit union that will serve the community on the reservation.
