NOT EASY!

I purchased the book from eBay and it didnt include a CD (I would have loved to hear these words spoken). I’m trying to wean myself from the Lakota Language Consortium, which has been exposed as a language colonizer - selling our own information back to us (copyrighting culture)—and making terrible (Christian/Western) translations on certain words/phrases. This book is a great resource and place to start for folks like me who are making (incremental - le sigh) progress toward language reclamation and revitalization.

Original lakota orthography created before Lakota Language Consortium was established. I highly recommend this book ad it was established by fluent lakota elders only. Authentic literacy straight from the source.

This has been an extremely useful tool and resource as I have learned Lakota Language/Philosophy basics this semester. 10/10 highly recommend!
