the 46th Lakota Nation Invitational December 14-17, 2022 at The Monument!

From a very small start in 1976-78, LNI has experienced many changes and has grown immensely. The last 46 years have been filled with great memories and exciting games, including cultural and academic events with outstanding young men and women.

Each year, the Lakota Nation Invitational has grown. We have been proud of all the young people who have given their best as they compete in honor of their schools, families, and respected nations from near and far. Their efforts are exceptional and our youth are the reason we all come together in the spirit of friendship and goodwill. The best athletes are here in basketball, wrestling, cheerleading, and countless other competitions!
