AMERICAN INDIAN EDUCATION AT BAGLEY SCHOOL

Bagley is located somewhat in the middle of 3 local tribes; White Earth, Red Lake, and Leech Lake; but they are not the only tribes represented within our school. Bagley School District currently has representation from 13 tribes from four states. With respect to all of our students, we will be looking for various educational/cultural opportunities to be shared.

The tribes represented within our school district by state are:

  • Minnesota - Bois Forte, Fond Du Lac, Grand Portage, Leech Lake, Mille Lacs, Red Lake, White Earth

  • Montana - Fort Peck Assiniboine Sioux

  • North Dakota - Spirit Lake, Turtle Mountain

  • South Dakota - Oglala Sioux - Pine Ridge, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate
