WEDG is a wholly owned entity of the Wakpamni Lake Community (WLC) government, a municipal tribal government of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Established through tribal resolution WLC-2025-01, WEDG was formally signed into existence by President Sandy Two Lance to serve as the economic development arm of the community.
WEDG is dedicated to fostering sustainable economic growth by leveraging tribal economic incentives, government contracting opportunities, and financial expertise. Through strategic planning and investment, we develop revenue-generating businesses that create long-term financial stability for the Wakpamni Lake Community.
By utilizing tribal advantages, tax incentives, and preferential contracting status, WEDG opens doors to new business opportunities and investment expansion. More than just an economic development company, we serve as a catalyst for strategic partnerships that drive lasting success for both our community and the businesses that work with us.
At WEDG, we don’t just build economies—we create opportunities, strengthen sovereignty, and shape a future where our people thrive.
