Thanks to Carlow and all the people who are teaching our languages. Language community workers are all unsung heroes. A Lakota, Dakota, Nakota language summit is scheduled for November.
I’ve also included a French Web site that has a long list of Lakota words. Foreigners are taking the time to learn Native languages here in the United States. What are we doing?
