Hi! My name is Melanie Neeposh, I am a member of the Sioux Valley Dakota
Nation in Canada. I was wondering if you did receive any information on
Lakota books, stories, etc. I would certainly be interested in also
gaining access to some of the information as I am presently sitting on a
Dakota Language Revitalization Committee. We are looking at ways on how
to re-instill the Dakota Language into the school system. It was used
quite a few years back; but there was little involvement from the
community as a whole. Now that the Dakota is on its way to extinction in
Canada, there is an immediate concern on how it can be "revitalized". We
would love to have some information!
Thanks alot .....
