Creation of REDCO

In 1999, the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Government stepped forward to begin reclaiming their right to economic self-determination by establishing REDCO. Designed to as the economic arm of the Tribe, REDCO’s purpose is to generate revenue and create economic opportunity for the Sicangu Lakota Oyate and surrounding communities.

History of Oceti Sakowin

Located in what is now known as South Central South Dakota, the Rosebud Indian Reservation is home to approximately 27,000 members of the Sicangu Lakota Oyate (“Burnt Thigh Nation”), also known as the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. As one of seven Lakota tribes, which in turn collectively form one of the seven council fires of the Great Sioux Nation (Očéti Šakówiŋ), the Sicangu Oyate have a proud history stretching back since time immemorial.

Lakota tribes have inhabited the Black Hills and surrounding plains for more than 2,000 years. The Lakota are best known as kind relatives, expert buffalo hunters, and fierce defenders of freedom and land. Incorporation of the horse and modern warfare technology into Lakota culture, guided by strong values of bravery, fortitude, generosity, respect, compassion, and wisdom, allowed the Lakota to become the dominant economic and military force in the Great Plains.
