ABOUT Akicita Federal

Akicita Federal LLC is a Native American Owned company. We specialize in the following three categories: Medical Staffing, Information Technology, Cyber Security.

We are part of a large group of Tiospaye (extended families) within the Tetonwan (Lakota) Nation who identify as Sicangu (burnt thighs). Long ago the Sicangu divided into the Kul Wicasa Oyate (lower people) and the Heyata Wicasa Oyate (uplands people). Our Kul Wicasa ancestors favored lands where the Maka Izita Ska (White River) empties into the Mni Sose (Missouri River), while the Heyata Wicasa lived higher up towards the Paha Sapa (Black Hills). In the 18th century, when French traders began to interact with our people, they translated our Sicangu name into French and began calling us the Brûlées. This is how we eventually became known as the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Our homeland has no formal boundaries. For thousands of years, we have lived in the grasslands and river valleys between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes – in recent centuries, west from the Missouri River in present-day South Dakota to the Platte River, in Nebraska, to the Yellowstone River in Wyoming and Montana, to the edge of the forests in Minnesota south of the Great Lakes.

As we walk along the paths of our ancestors, we Lower Brule people are strong and resilient, and so we continue to work hard to protect and preserve our culture and return to our traditional self-sufficiency in this modern world.

Akicita Federal shares the same principles. We are committed to making sure our team is constantly monitoring the market for the most talented professionals and leveraging the best techniques and practices to attract and hire top talent. Tapping into our expertise, our executive team includes program managers, executive officers, and accredited experts on different aspects such as medical staffing and medical operations.

Our goal is to support the governments vision and mission by building strong teams and strong leaders. Our shared beliefs and values, combined with extensive and diverse experience, have made us successful in driving change and achieving results.

Our Medical Staffing is a professional service that provides temporary or permanent staffing solutions for healthcare facilities and organizations. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals includes, but is not limited to, physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and other medical personnel. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific staffing needs and provide customized solutions to meet those needs.
