There are 14 schools in the USA with the word lakota in the name.

The word "Lakota" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it reflects the historical and cultural significance of the Lakota people, a prominent Native American group that originally inhabited large areas of the Northern Plains. Many schools in regions once home to the Lakota, such as the Dakotas, Nebraska, and parts of Montana and Wyoming, use the name to recognize and honor this heritage. Incorporating "Lakota" into school names serves as a reminder of the original inhabitants of the land and can foster a sense of local history and cultural awareness within the community. Educational institutions may also use such names to promote values of respect, inclusivity, and recognition of indigenous contributions to American society.
