Dakota Curriculum
Project
It is imperative that all Dakota Children know
about their history, culture, and language in order for the Dakota culture
to survive. These valuable teachings are being lost as too many of our
young children are being assimilated into the dominate society... The
Creator gave the Dakota People (Ikche Wichashta) a language (Dakota
lya) to communicate with each other.

The
Dakota Language Homepage
"We appreciate the great interest in the language. As you will
discover by going through our site, however, we believe that learning
by translation is a hindrance to the actual speaking of the language.
We will continue to provide you with opportunities to speak the language,
but we feel that offering translations runs counter to our goal."

Lakota
Language Revitalization

result, a variety of multimedia language programs have been developed

These tools are becoming recognized as an important and accessible way
for teaching languages.

Mnisota
Dakota Iapi Owayawa
The Department of American Indian Studies maintains a free interactive
Dakota language website where users can access lessons on a variety
of topics, sound clips, dialogues, recordings of fluent speakers,
and online activities and games.
Due
to the critical point of language shift we are experiencing with Dakota
in the state of Minnesota, classroom time may be one of the few opportunities
language learners have to hear and use the language. We hope that
this website will help some people acquire a little bit of conversational
ability in the language, but it cannot replace a real teacher. It
is only meant to supplement the teachings of living people!

Ft. Liard,
Northwest Territories, Canada
Archeological evidence suggests that the
Fort Liard area has been occupied for over nine thousand years. The
Liard, Fort Nelson and Petitot Rivers were natural highways for the
native peoples of the area. They provided access from what is now British
Columbia, the Yukon, Alberta, and other parts of the Northwest Territories.
The Kaska and Acho Dene people still make their homes in this area.
People came from as far as the Pacific Coast and other areas to trade
at Fort Liard.
