After some delays in 2013, the Level 5 Lakȟótiya Wóglaka Po! Speak Lakota! Textbook is finally

complete! Finished books are scheduled to arrive at the LLC administrative office and shipping department on

April 7, 2014.  Shipping will begin the next day. LLC is now taking pre-orders at our online bookstore.

The K-12 sequence reaches a turning point with Level 5, as this series of lessons will establish the diligent learner

as proficient in Lakota – able to not only speak and understand, but able to create meaningful, spontaneous

conversations.

This textbook is different from Levels 1-4.  It is structured with a continuous storyline throughout the units, as a

pair of moccasins transports one of the girl characters, and then one of the boy characters, back to a Lakota camp

in the buffalo-hunting days. The modern kids are able to befriend other people and experience the life of the

camp because they can speak Lakota.

Introduction to the book’s units and activities will be part of the 2014 Lakota Summer Institute.
