her being an ''elder'' is generally what ppl would call her, but i was taught that our elders deserve to be called more, especially the ones making a positive impact in our lives, to her she is not an elder but a ''knowledge keeper''.
Basically, she is a guardian of the language and culture. We must fight to preserve the peoples and languages that the American Natives were robbed of....
My Grandfather was Sihasapa, and had no use for a white man's education. This meant that he struggled to provide for his family. When I hear white people talk about "patriotism", I want to vomit. There is no pride in taking a people's culture and dignity, and it certainly doesn't define what being a patriot is.
@@EJsGameGalaxy I am not sure where the misunderstanding occurred, I meant no offense. My comment was more directed to white people who seem to think that patriotism is a completely different definition that is only reserved for white people..
Thank you for creating this Lakota learning channel. I’m a white English speaking South African. I love my journey so far learning the Lakota language, I find it a beautiful language. Ms Black Bear is an excellent teacher - I’m very impressed with her style of teaching. The only drawback that I have living here in SA is that there is nobody here that I can practice in speaking Lakota to, so much better with the practiced tongue - will just have to talk to myself. I have much respect for the Lakota people and would love to learn more about their culture.
My wife and I are raising 3 Lakota boys under 3 years old. We want them to learn, and know their heritage and traditions. I am trying to learn Lakota so I can try and teach them. It might be best to learn with them instead of teach something I do not know. Listening to her talk, I am excited and really looking forward to this. Thank you for putting this out for us to see. Philámayaye.
Washtelo. I greet you in the Chanunpa of my Ancestors. I am Lakota. May Wakan Tanka reward you for stepping in and helping the children and for keeping tradition alive. Your kindness and empathy preserves the Tiospaye. Please look\ Google a prophecy Crazy Horse said before he was murdered. I think he was talking to Red Cloud. Please look into this. I believe this directly applies to You. Thank you. Hoka Hey.
I hope that some day, Americas native languages will be the official languages that people will learn at school. In Norway we had to write in Danish for over 300 years. Then we started writing Norwegian and know, theres no Danish writing people left.
I from the bottom of my heart hope they the "Lakota" don't ever lose the language... healing... old arts...ways of the Lakota for one day it may be the new need for all...only those who's hearts stay true to the way...will thrive.
Although there's still Danish words that are used to this day, they're a bit odd but still remain. 🙂 my mother in law has some Danish blood aside from Norwegian.
So sad how we all was stripped from are language our beaten for it an killed. Am part Norwegian an Lakota Sioux. Feel we will never lose are language an are culture. As long it’s in are heart an soul.
@@carleenrichards7571 Hi Carleen I would love to get in contact with you. I am norweigan + lakota. looking for relatives. Any way i could message you? Kind reg. Ann
Thank you. Education is natural for you. I could listen to you all day. Beautiful language. This language should be known as the first language of this country. Much respect for you and your people. Spiritual people.🍀🌾🌱
It makes me happy to learn about countries or even states striving to keep the native languages alive!😊 Like Hawaii is doing in schools in Hawaii and Scottish schools are doing with Gaelic in Scotland.The "book burners were so ignorant when they chose to burn Huckleberry Finn which contained some of the last examples of the African slave dialect. People don't seem to understand that once a language dies it's almost impossible to get back.
Oh my goodness, I could listen to you teach all day! I recently had some interactions with some Lakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and fell in love with the people! My hope is to return there some day, and would love to have some of the traditional language to speak with them in their own language. We had a couple of communication mishaps that turned out humorous, I am looking forward to learning so much more!
I have just discovred her today, and I have already decided that I´m going to be watching her a lot for now on! She has such a beautiful soul, just really love listening to her speak, I wish I could meet her in person. I am an American English speaker, my second language is Spanish, I am trying to learn French and Chinese, and now the Lakota language-- and she is my first contact. Really looking forward to learning with her.
When she said Alcohol language I can still remember my grandfather and uncle speak to each other as such. my family originally comes from South Dakota they left the reservation to find opportunity for themselves and I'm happy they did although I'm very sad my Grandmother never could work up the courage to teach me the language out of fear us grand kids would be treated poorly for it. I'm half blooded Soux but I have always loved my culture and now as an adult I seek the language and the culture I couldn't directly learn from them.
I love language and I would love to learn Lakota (I am American English, learned a small amount of French when I was younger, learning Spanish for coworkers presently). Thank you for this channel, I very much look forward to it. I am currently learning about the histories and ways of different tribes. I have a lot of respect for cultures and hope to learn many language rules and grammar.
Hello, so I'm Lakota and for the most part I'm pretty connected with my native roots but I really want to learn the language. I hope these videos help me out
Strobelight_Epilepsy _Ff look up the Lakota Language Consortium, there’s a dictionary app available with lots and lots of entries that’s free to download, along with a language blog that’s interactive with moderators acting as teachers as well it’s very very helpful I suggest you take a look it’s all free as well
Good night. Forgive me for bothering you but it is an honor to speak with you. To know that you belong to this fantastic tribe. I would like to ask you a few questions. I really like the culture of its people. thank you
So enjoyed listening to this charasmatic teacher. The Scottish language is guttural and we use slang too and I found it easy to repeat a great deal of words. The Scots are also known to speak very quickly. Thank you for an excellent lesson.
Thank you....this first lecture was so informative about many things including the different languages. I learned some words years ago in the lodge, the prayer language. I would like to learn more about your culture and this is so important for the healing of everyone......Much healing is needed for America....to include all of us.
Thank you for posting these video lessons. I heard some Lakota on Twitter the other day and would love to learn at least a little bit of this beautiful language!!
Germans is such a stereotype and noring example. The Arabs/Jews, has it, Mongols, and the Turkic langue has these guttural throat sounds. Even though I'm not First Nation, nor an American, I really loved this video. I really enjoyed listening to Sandra's stories. I really like the Lakota (Nakota, Dakota) language as well as Cheyenne, and the Haudenosaunee. Ever since I was little I would study everything I could about specific plains, and woodland cultures, watch movies, read books, draw, paint etc
Hello from Poland. Poland wasn`t independened for over 150 years but we cultivated traditions and language so our nation survived. I can undersand your struggle because of it. Wish you all the best. Good luck!
I have seen a wonderful Lakota healer who came to the Puyallup Tribe bc their healer had passed away he has not returned in a long while but I’m not Puyallup member I am alone but am from originally White Earth res I. Minnesota where I was taken away from when I was very little girl. I wished that I knew all my family but that Lakota healer was amazing. He has helped me and my little girls so very much.
Hi, I am German and I have learned a bit Lakota language from a book and CDs. I so wished to go deeper into it, because I feel so connected to your culture. Blessings to you all.
Those lens flares got me hey. Thought the spirits were chillin with her. Caught me off gaurd. She reminds me of my mum. I haven't seen my mum in a couple years. She never taught me the language or ways. Never even got a reason why she left. I've lived in Minnesota as far as I can remember. Last time I was in south Dakota. Was for my grandfather's funeral. I don't know much other than his name. Francis Primeaux. Thanks for letting me hear this. Love the laughter. It helps me forget how lost I am.
Bless you dear Lady. Please could you help me. I am a French/English woman, 73 years old. Always had a heart for the Native Indian Tribes. I would like to know, if I originated from Montana, Whitehall area, in 1800s, what would the Indian Language Name for me: Steadfast/Standing for Truth&Justice, for Good&Right (correct). I cannot manage to use the few dictionary facilities on the internet, very difficult because Native languages are SO different from English, or any other language. Native Languages are SO beautiful, SO unique! Can you let me know? Thank you so much, Lady Teacher. Blessings in the Creator, Line-Marie Glyde❗🌹
thank you Ms. Black Bear for taking the time out to do this video, I would like to know if you have other channels or virtual class considering the epidemic. I have been self teaching for about 1 month now, and I am speaking it as much as possible, I can introduce myself but I would like a constant teacher or training. not sure what you are doing these days, can we connect.
My son is the first in his family to not live on the Pine Ridge reservation for at least some of his youth. It is very important to me that he learn his native language, and is familiar with his culture. I'm not sure if my comment will be seen but I am personally not familiar with any of it and I am not sure where to start. If anyone can point me in the right direction for teaching my son I would be very grateful. He is 6 months right now, so language introduction is very very important.
i am very curious if there is still similarities at the very roots of the Hungarian and the Lakota language ? 🤔... for example how would you say 2 + 2 lechen topa ?
I stopped the video. Seeing Sitting Bull's photo, he noticed that the lady looked exactly like Sitting Bull. The eyes, the face, everything. Could he be Sitting Bull's great-grandson?
Just found your channel so excited! Im majority Lakota Sioux and little chippawa (thought I was gonna say Cherokee 😉 lol) I’m excited to learn my native language! So I have this question that needs to be explained to me cuz I don’t understand (I live lid on the Rez until 4-5 then moved to SOCAL)! My moms sister tells me she’s my grandma not my aunt????? (In Indian way) I don’t understand, no matter how she explains don’t understand, can you please explain!???
hola, me gusta su cultura y quiero aprender su lenguaje, pero no entiendo nada de ingles, es posible que algún día publiquen unas lecciones en español?
ok, ok, declino mi aspiración. gracias. lo que sucede es que las nuevas generaciones de gente lakota tienen fuertes apegos e influencia del mundo moderno. lo mismo sucede en suramerica con el quechua. de cualquier manera algun dia todos hablaremos un mismo lenguaje , el del amor universal
es hermoso todo lo de las lenguas indigenas de estados unidos me agradaria pusieran subtitulos en español ya que no hablo ingles y tampoco lo entiendo felicidades
Very descriptive on how to pronounce and make different sounds. Not many do that, explain how to make the guttural sounds. Well thought out Sandra. My Mom use to tell us, there were certain things we could not say, EVER. Nowadays, certain familes say them so frequently, other Tribes say it. My Kunsi said: that is disgusting. If you get my gist.
Ms. Black Bear,, I’m so impressed with your teaching style. I’ll be watching each lesson,, as I can find time. Could I ask you,, how I would say Black Dog, in Lakota ? 😊❤️✌️
Thank you for giving me the honor of learning my ancestors language I should have awhile ago now I'm in a place in my life we're im literally split between my waisichu side and mother side feel conflicted wish I learned this as a kid
Sioux represent. I’m proud of my family line. 5 generations of being a “Fast Horse” the worst part is I have to use a name that’s accepted by western society. My name is Ohitika, but to everyone else my name is “Charlie”
Thanks so much for this and I did not know that about " we are all related" and I use it to end my prayers and posts. Is this inappropriate? I will change I want to always show respect xoxo co-creators of world peace xoxo
In Red Scaffold we say Mi-ta-key-o-say..... and the only time I would hear it is when we were kids....and have sweat lodge or winter "U-whip-pee" ceremony, and towards the end each person says a prayer to/with the group (usually a prayer said to resolve politics at the school....they had shutdowns...anyway) if you were young, you were not pressured to say a prayer....and you could "pass" by saying mitakeyosay (i know im spelling it wrong, but we have a different dialect than the women in this video) anyway, thats were i learned to say it...each week, each winter, I got better.... a lot of other words in these videos are different.
What we say at the end of prayers, and after someone else's prayer, in the Inipi (sweat lodge) is "Mitakuye Oyasin". It's pronounced "me tahk wee AH seen". It means "all my relations" or more correctly "all beings (in Creation) are my relatives".
@Tarra Sabin Why are you explaining to me what it means ? Red Scaffold is on Cheyenne River Reservation. I lived in Lakota speaking house. Like everyone else there. There are dozens of dialects all over the Dakotas, and it is definitely not pronounced the same everywhere.
I'm a white man raised up on the Indian culture in Indian reservation ,Mission South Dakota how I miss it raised up in winner just a few miles from Mission
judges of the United States. They use the laws as they have privileges to break them. So that some people can feel above the law The japanese in my case. I will always be a free man of love, Kindness, attack attack I am brave too
I'm a bit young and I'm starting, I hope I could get a bit help here because I only had one class, learned the basics gladly and need more resources to learn more I swear xD I need to talk to this person who is teaching in this video as well! Aaaaa
her being an ''elder'' is generally what ppl would call her, but i was taught that our elders deserve to be called more, especially the ones making a positive impact in our lives, to her she is not an elder but a ''knowledge keeper''.

I can speak it just not fluently, I takes a long time to learn it fluently.

Your original name (Sioux -lakota) it's wonderful!! You made use It!!
Ohitika is a wonderful name and your true name. Use it with honor and let the wasiču adapt!

Is Lakota considered a click language?
+Quanah Bear Thanks!!
In Red Scaffold we say Mi-ta-key-o-say..... and the only time I would hear it is when we were kids....and have sweat lodge or winter "U-whip-pee" ceremony, and towards the end each person says a prayer to/with the group (usually a prayer said to resolve politics at the school....they had shutdowns...anyway) if you were young, you were not pressured to say a prayer....and you could "pass" by saying mitakeyosay (i know im spelling it wrong, but we have a different dialect than the women in this video) anyway, thats were i learned to say it...each week, each winter, I got better.... a lot of other words in these videos are different.
What we say at the end of prayers, and after someone else's prayer, in the Inipi (sweat lodge) is "Mitakuye Oyasin". It's pronounced "me tahk wee AH seen". It means "all my relations" or more correctly "all beings (in Creation) are my relatives".
@Tarra Sabin Why are you explaining to me what it means ? Red Scaffold is on Cheyenne River Reservation. I lived in Lakota speaking house. Like everyone else there. There are dozens of dialects all over the Dakotas, and it is definitely not pronounced the same everywhere.
This is really interesting, but I have no idea how I got here
I'm a white man raised up on the Indian culture in Indian reservation ,Mission South Dakota how I miss it raised up in winner just a few miles from Mission
please ma'am what does washtae mean
It means GOOD
Thanks !! Love for ever!!
My mom was fluent. I wish she lived longer so I could speak it as well 😔
That's what it is. Lakota law means something.The u s law means nothing but a way of fulling you.
judges of the United States.
They use the laws as they have privileges to break them. So that some people can feel above the law The japanese in my case. I will always be a free man of love, Kindness, attack attack I am brave too
Hi cousin it's me Dallas I've been trying to find you please help Ethel May Palmer thank you for teaching me my language she is at the hospital
Thank you!
Fascinating, but also very difficult to learn I imagine. With all those word changes when you pronounce it differently.
