Inside the Boys and Girls Club

The computer room contains ten Gateway computers with a network and high speed internet access. This facility was made possible through a Power-Up grant received in 2001. Software is available for games, education, word processing and other applications. The members can learn to run common applications and prepare and print homework assignments on these computers.

The swimming pool is full competition size, and certified life guards are on duty whenever it is open.

The Woonspe'  Library currently contains approximately 1600 volumes, which support club activities, reflect the Lakota culture, and serve as a resource for school assignments. The library has an on-line catalog. The collection can be searched by subject, author, title, or keyword.

The Club presently has a position open for a Librarian. We have a modern, fully equipped library with an excellent collection. This position is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking an internship or training assignment related to their studies. We are able to provide housing, if needed.

The games room is at the entrance to the club. It is in the shape of a turtle, with the SuAnne Big Crow Club emblem in the center circle on the floor. The image below shows one of the resident pool sharks at work.

The Gymnasium is a full competition facility, which can be partitioned off into smaller sections. Bigger-than-life banners with pictures of SuAnne hang high overhead.

The Incentive Room contains the impressive collection of awards and citations that SuAnne Big Crow received in her brief lifetime. They include both sports awards and civic awards.

The Arts and Crafts Room provides the space, materials and guidance for members to work in drawing, painting, beadwork, woodworking, and other craft areas.

In September of 2003, we received a very generous donation from Mr. Richard Fields, allowing us to acquire a new house for volunteers. The house is located across the parking lot from the new facility, and is shown above and below .
