LRInspire Native language preservation presents: Children’s songs Lakota(ized)!
Singing is perhaps one of the fastest, and fun, ways of learning a language. Catchy tunes tend to stick with us long after we’ve heard them.
Below is the children’s song head, shoulders, knees and toes (feet) sung in Lakota.

Lakotasprache Lektion vier – ein Klinderlied
Archie Fire Lame Deer sang the song with me as often as i was a child and I had to show what it is with the hands…
I loved it when i was a child…
Kind regards
