Lakota Language Weekends are designed as “crash courses” in Lakota language. These two-day courses are taught by experienced instructors and are suitable for Lakota and non-Lakota, total beginners and continuing learners alike. Lakota Language Weekends turn language learners into language activists. We are growing the Lakota revitalization movement one Weekend at a time!
