TRIBES
LLC has its roots in the dreams of tribal elders looking to save their native language. The Lakota tribes started working toward this goal in the 1990s. Their work was the impetus for the creation of LLC. LLC, tribal leaders and tribe members still work hand in hand to revitalize Lakota.
ORGANIZATIONS
One key to LLC's success thus far has been support and funding from government organizations. Our government partners include the Administration for Native Americans, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Science Foundation.
FOUNDATIONS
LLC has formed partnerships with a variety of charitable foundations, including the Puffin Foundation West and the Grotto Foundation. These partnerships allow LLC to grow its many projects.
