What We Do

Akicita Cyber LLC dba Akicita Federal At Akicita Federal, we specialize in supporting efforts related to National Security and Homeland Security. We provide a wide range of services and solutions that aid in protecting the country from potential threats and ensuring the safety of its citizens. Our services include intelligence gathering and analysis, border security, cybersecurity, emergency management and response, medical support, and other critical functions. 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. https://akicitafederal.com https://www.lowerbrulesiouxtribe.com/
