Lakota Nation Invitational

The Monument in Rapid City is proud to host this year’s Lakota Nation Invitational!

From a very small start in 1976-78, the LNI has experienced many changes and 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 are 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!
