News & Recent Events

Ómakȟa tȟéča wówiyunškiŋ!  
Happy New Year! 2020 was challenging for all of us as we mourned the loss of many language legacies who were influential in the communities and were advocates for Lakota language learning for decades. As we step into this new year, we have a lot to look forward to in 2021! This year, we’re collaborating to develop new picture and intermediate-level books, recording speakers for the Lakota Audio Series Vol. 2, working on more teacher features for the Owóksape platform, and partnering to host Lakota learning events. Make sure to follow our Facebook page to stay up to date on the latest learning materials and events. We are very grateful for the daily support of individuals like you and foundations’ financial contribution that continue to aid in efforts for Lakota language revitalization. We wish you a happy and healthy new year.

Water is Everywhere  
A new picture book is underway! This month, we’re working on the Lakota version of Water is Everywhere which will be the first book in a four book beginner science series. These colorful images illustrated by Marty Two Bulls teach children about water, describe different bodies of water, and depict the many ways we use it in our daily lives. Be the first to know when this book is available in the LLC bookstore by checking our Facebook page.
