Prairie Edge Review

At the time of this writing, we have just completed three days at the 2nd Annual Language Summit in Rapid City…Lakota, Dakota, Nakota…There were lots and lots of very friendly people – all of them were contentedly having a great time together – like coming to a family reunion – almost everyone talking “the Language”.

There are numerous language materials available: dictionaries, books, CDs and workbooks on Lakota and Dakota, but not much on Nakota. I heard many comments at the Summit about hopefully having more Nakota language information recorded or published in the near future.

The most popular language book during the Summit was Reading and Writing the Lakota Language (book and accompanying CD) by Albert White Hat Sr. who gave an excellent presentation during the conference. Italkedwithsomeofth p p who helped with preparation of Reading and Writing the Lakota Language, and learned a little about the many, many hours of dedicated work that went into the preparation to make it as accurate and reliable as possible.

You don’t have to wait until the next Language Summit to purchase any of these language materials. We have them every day at
Until next time…
