Virtual Lakota Language Weekend 
Last month we partnered with RCAS Title VI Indian Education for a second Virtual Lakota Language Weekend. Parents, RCAS staff, and students of all ages participated in this community event to increase their knowledge of Lakȟótiyapi. Another language weekend is underway for Rapid City Area Schools. Thank you to Cherella Hughes, Amanda Carlow, and Alex Fire Thunder for instructing. We hope to see you and new participants soon!

2021 Lakota Summer Institute 
We are very eager to have you all join us for another summer of Lakota language learning! We are still in the planning stages of coordinating the Summer Institute with our community partners. The health and safety of instructors, participants, and staff are our top priority and we are navigating the best way to format this event. We would like to thank you all for your patience as we prepare for LSI 2021. We will have more information about the institute in the next few weeks. Stay up to date on this event by checking LLC’s Facebook page.
