Red Cloud Indian School will be renamed Maȟpíya Lúta –- a translation of Chief Red Cloud’s name, South Dakota Public Broadcasting reported Tuesday. The school was founded by Jesuits in 1888. It now has about 600 students.
Jennifer Irving, vice president of communications and marketing, said the idea for the name change came from the school’s athletes, who wanted the Lakota language name on their team jerseys.
