| Brief Description: | Developed at Oglala Lakota College, Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota. This course focuses on teaching the student the sound and meaning of the Lakota language. All recordings are by native speakers. Exercises for written practice are included which use the English alphabet since Lakota was a spoken language until recently. The term "Sioux" refers to people of similar ethnic backgrounds and includes Lakota speakers (the most numerous), Dakota and Nakota Speakers. This is the most intensive course available with 15 CD's (11 hours), a 102 page text, and a final exam. |
