The Lakota Language Consortium's programs and materials are crucial tools for preserving and growing the Lakota language community. Still, they would be useless without the true soldiers in the movement - dedicated Lakota language teachers.

Many of these teachers participate as consultants and reviewers in the creation of LLC's classroom materials, professional development trainings, and the curriculum and standards for K-16 programs in Lakota language. This involvement is what makes LLC a grassroots Lakota-led organization, and its products closely reflective of both modern and traditional Lakota culture.
