About the Lakota/Dakota (Sioux) language

Today, we embark on a journey into a language, or perhaps three dialects, or even three languages, that were spoken in Northern America long before English. We’re going to explore the Sioux language, though the term “Sioux“ has been falling out of usage recently. These days people refer to this language as Lakota and Dakota (those are the names of the two main dialects). It’s was a fascinating language to research and I hope you find it interesting to learn about it too! Videos used: Dances With Wolves (1990): Sioux (Lakota) Language Vs.
