Tusweca Tiospaye: Lakota language program in Pine Ridge
Mike Carlow Jr., executive director of Tusweca Tiospaye, operates a language program on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Check out the Tusweca Tiospaye Web page.
You can also follow Tuswecatiospaye on twitter.
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?
