History of SDHC In 1966 the federal founders of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) declared that “Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens.” The South Dakota Committee on the Humanities (renamed South Dakota Humanities Council in 1992) opened its permanent office in Brookings in 1972, offering cultural programs statewide. Our sole mission is to deliver humanities programming to the people of South Dakota. As a steward of the state's cultural awareness and heritage, the Council cultivates statewide interest in South Dakota history, literature and other related humanities subjects, while stimulating an interest in the state's place as part of the universal human experience.

We appreciate every contribution. Thank you for keeping the humanities alive in South Dakota!
Mission SDHC’s core mission is “to support and promote the exchange of ideas to foster a thoughtful and engaged society.”
VISION A South Dakota: • Where we fulfill our essential human need to tell our stories, satisfy our curiosity, and take action in response to our vision of a better world. • Where we have the tools we need to participate fully in the cultural and civic life of our communities. • Where we celebrate the tapestry of life, family and place that make South Dakota unique and unifies us in our diversity. The South Dakota Center for the Book, a program of the South Dakota Humanities Council, strives to meet its mission to “celebrate the written word in South Dakota, extol the rich heritage of the state, and encourage authorship, literacy and reading.”
3
Mission Forward Values We believe that the humanities help individuals develop a sense of self and awareness through the power of reading, sharing stories, and exploring ideas. We believe that the humanities are essential to acquiring knowledge and wisdom, and therefore help build relationships among all people. We believe that the humanities create bonds of mutual respect, understanding, and trust, leading to a better understanding of those who shaped us. We believe that the humanities have the capacity to transform the lives of all South Dakotans, enriching, opening and informing our minds with new understanding, thereby humanizing cultures and promoting tolerance. We believe that the preservation of history through understanding and recording stories will contribute to the continued vitality and prosperity of our civilization. We believe that the humanities give voice and identity to community histories, providing engagement among all ages, ethnic groups, economic classes, genders, rural-urban-small towns, and farmranch families.
Strategic Priorities 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

To make quality humanities programming available for all South Dakotans to enhance civic and cultural life To increase visibility and accessibility to the Council’s work To build a strong base of private financial support for the SDHC’s programming and initiatives statewide To engage entire communities for individual growth and to foster humanities leadership skills To ensure effective and appropriate use of Council resources To review the Council’s performance and structure annually
