The Cheyenne River Lakota Tribal tradition

Finding volleyball through a layup

Realizing that going pro is an option

Overcoming isolation in her rookie year

Growing the game in Native communities 

Induction into the Indigenous Athletics HOF

Speaking for those unable to do so

Retiring from volleyball and rediscovering joy

Rug-making and textile work

October 14 is Indigenous Peoples' Day, and we’re honoring the occasion by chatting with middle blocker Lauren Schad. From Rapid City, South Dakota, Lauren is a member of the Cheyenne River Lakota Tribe and celebrates her culture as much as possible, which can be difficult for long parts of the year as she has played professionally in France for six seasons. Despite the distance, Lauren has always felt support from the Indigenous community and gives back by hosting volleyball clinics or supporting organizations that raise awareness of the missing and murdered Indigenous women epidemic. From South Dakota to San Diego to continental Europe, Lauren has brought her culture to wherever she’s lived. We’re honored for her to share it with LOVB today.

Topics include:
Honoring the Cheyenne River Lakota Tribal tradition

Giving those who cannot speak the opportunity to do so
Retiring from volleyball and rediscovering joy in volleyball
