Rosalie Jean Little Thunder (Kiċikute Ċokaƞuƞ Wiƞ), 64, of Rapid City was born September 18, 1949, at home in Old He Dog Community, on the lands of the Sicangu Lakota Oyate (Rosebud Sioux Reservation), to William L. and Margaret M. (Good Shield) Little Thunder. Rosalie spearheaded various projects as a consultant and also as a highly respected teacher in a self-driven Cultural Mapping project called KiLakotapi. Her intense commitment to the continuation of Lakota cultural ways and language, her compassion for the Pte Oyate (Buffalo Nation), and her adamant stance for environmental justice and natural resource protections took her upon worldwide travels such as India, Ecuador, Mexico, and Canada.
In addition to her environmental activism and cultural preservation work, Rosalie was also an accomplished award-winning artist, making star quilts and recreation of traditional Lakota items such as gun cases, moccasins, parfleche bags, and a horse-head mask.
At the time of her passing, Rosalie was an adjunct professor at the Black Hills State University American Indian Studies Department, where she taught the Lakota language for many years.
