The Lakota Summer Institute continues to blossom as the creative possibilities for language learning emerge.  This year, our attendance was over 100 for the first time.  Besides our regular curriculum of language study and second-language teaching method trainings, a linguistic conference for scholars in Siouan and Caddoan Languages took place at Sitting Bull College concurrent to LSI, and some visitors from western lands made a historic appearance as welcomed guests of the Lakota.
