As I now live in Australia,it is great to hear Lakota, and even my Nan was saying Igmu’ instead of cat . . keep up the good work . Blessings
i am of native american and heritage yet was raised white. my ancestors are from many tribes. i do not know my native language and wish to learn. i can remember my grand mother speaking and singing in cherokee and another language other than english or spanish. i always wanted to learn the language of her people but never got around to find someone to teach me. my father forbade us kids to even have granny speak anything but english in his house’ . he said once after he left the reservation in iowa he wanted to forget everything about being from there. he had a rough time as a kid. him and his 19 brothers and sisters were ripped away from my granny and put in an orphan asylum and abused in the worse way possible. him and 3 others of his siblings escaped and found their way back home. the others were adopted or passed away. what ever happened to him had turned him away from his people my older brother knows more about our people than i do. he once was a tribal judge and now a medicine man. when he was a judge he helped my son get enrolled in the seminole nation and my self into the south eastern cherokee confederacy my roll number is 1033. this is my 61 summer and before the great spirit comes for me i want to know who i am and where i belong. and be able to speak my native language so i can understand what the grandfathers and grandmothers are saying
Waste,
Wopila, it makes my heart happy to hear and share with my grandson

I’m taking Lakhota Language through the LLC Group and we have a Facebook page. These downloads will help me immensely! As a web coding student, I’ve been playing with making an interactive webpage since one of my instructors teaches on the Rez. Thank you! I’m keeping this on my tablet; the pronounciation is the toughest part but this will make it easier.
