Lakota Language LL 101 Week 2

[@thebusdrrivertohell]

His laugh causes my heart to smile.

[@yur1pr1m3]

I just wanted any of you Lakota that see this, and your Nakota and Dakota brothers and sisters, to know that I have immense respect for you and I love you all. I am not of indigenous descent, but my heart goes out to you. I hope to help all indigenous peoples soon, as I am currently studying environmental policy and intend to become an environmental justice lawyer to help represent Native American communities. So many injustices have been committed, like to your beautiful Black Hills. Just know that there are actually many people, even wasicu like me, that stand with you. thehila lila !

[@susanb5177]

Wasicu is a negative word for a white person. It means he who takes the fat or fat taker. There is a story behind it. Long ago, a human being found a strange looking white man starving and freezing in the wilderness. The man was close to death. The human being took the man home to his family. The kind people shared their fire and prepared food from their winter stores to nourish the white man. The white man starving, eagerly grabbed all of the fat that was on the meat that was to be shared by all. They thought of that act as being very selfish, greedy and thoughtless. In those days people needed to eat the fat on meat to survive. They called the man Wasicu, he who takes the fat or fat taker. So if you want to be respected, don't refer to yourself as Wasicu. You are referring to yourself as a selfish, greedy, thoughtless white person.

[@susanb5177]

I forgot to say health and happiness to you and positive outcomes for your future endeavors. I feel your heart is in the right place.

[@lthompson6750]

you will have to go past environmental justice lawyer studies to politics on the rez, because that is where a lot of the trouble starts. Hope you can help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKXnaF6rperpLM

@@susanb5177 Thank you.

[@ronpaulssecretary]

@@susanb5177 the origin doesn't matter. It is still the word for white person and the english language.

[@rabbitseason6889]

In reference to the series. Amazing, I look forward to learning and understanding all the variables. Thank you for allowing us to witness a rich language.

[@janetwalmsley-heron]

This is yet another good Teacher of the Lakota language I am so happy to see this happening to help pass it down to the next generations. All is not lost and well done to the Students also

[@pollarsummer47]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. My best friend is Lakota and calls me Kola. I am learning his language in honor of that commitment to each other...

[@jackswan9391]

how do i get a copy of the book Sam High Crane is using??

[@kaylamuldoon397]

I don't know if it's the same as what they're using but it's by their medicine man, Peter V. Catches. I think it will be accurate. His father was the one who has the book called the sacred fireplace if you are interested. It's the first book that I came across. Safe journey 😊 www.amazon.com/dp/0983200912/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_glt_fabc_XP0V95B11DQQ5P9RXEKB

[@cinnireseisri]

Dialects rise over time as vocabulary and grammar changes. Societies that have suffered from extreme colonialism and persecution of their cultures see this fragmentation of unified vocabulary and grammar greatly accelerated. It is a major issue that has to be understood to save any language from withering into obscurity when facing such obstacles.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE FROM AN ELDER

[@christmas1210]

It could be interesting to get a hold of that book

[@Shodansixtyone]

I enjoy his story telling along with his teaching style

[@noahfuller71]

Pilamaya - thankyou elder for the lessons Of my forgotten language I am 1/16th or so Sioux/ Lakota the rest is various European blood but I've always felt the native blood in me and culture to be the strongest I respect mother earth, my elders and the animals we live beside - I hope one day to take a trip out to the reservation and with blessing do a sweat, visit the holy places just to mend that with my spirit.

[@lthompson6750]

until you can get there, they have pow wow's you can go to. Don't let any thing taint your vision, there are apples yes, but, there are Real people there too. Close your eyes and listen with your heart when you stop to watch the dances and hear the drums.

[@hh1976bat]

Hi Sam! I'm from Austria and i see your movies the first time! I'm very impressed and i wish i could attend your lessons. But unfortunately i live too far away, a few thoundants of km. :-) My english is not perfect, so it's double hard for me to follow. But i try my best to understand and learn…………..Best and warm greetins from Autria, the other side of our wunderful planet! Hans

[@carolbrixel746]

[@Pinaco-gn3gb]

[@Ariel975]

GREAT TEACHER !

[@RuRidas]

i love all my native people i live in sf but theirs not that much relatives that speak Lakota here just the elders but i salute you native pride👍 til i die

[@elake8004]

I bought the 1999 edition of Reading and Writing the Lakota Language by Albert White Hat Sr. At 15.48 in the video the teaching jumps suddenly from the top of pg 14 to Kinship terms (Tunkashila, Unci, Ate, Ina etc) which are not listed as per Sam High Crane's lesson. In this part he is reading from a piece of paper. He then resumes the cousin terms as per the book on pg 15 so goes back to the book format. The film visibly 'jumped' so I think it may be the editing and I wish that this missing part could have been recorded. It's frustrating missing out on the essential link parts of Mr High Crane's brilliant teaching. Also it would have been useful to clearly state at the beginning of each lesson from which book Sam High Crane is teaching from.

[@michimaua8966]

Am mexica n Mayan native I will like to learn more of the lakota language tunkashila n I will like to say pilamaye for teaching us the beautiful language......aho

[@EJsGameGalaxy]

[@lthompson6750]

Thank you, will do so.

[@KaiRangatira]

I'm Maori from aotearoa just thought I'd listen in on the Lakota language, pretty interesting

[@corybeaver7562]

Man. I'm really , really interested in the Lokota language. I studied linguistics in college. However, I'm frustrated in the lack of structure in teaching of this language. With this being said, I'm grateful for this video, but I'm sure this can be taught in a better way regarding language acquisition.

[@Adulteducationlife]

How can I support this channel? Very grateful to you who are doing it.

[@derrickharmon2]

I would like to know what text book you are using.

[@anoldmannameddave7455]

Is it possible to get whatever book or papers he’s reading from. I have no way to see the different forms and their dots, dashes, of the vowels he’s speaking of . This is a great lesson, but would be much more easy to understand, with that book in hand. I’d love to be able to purchase one. ✌️

[@carlagehres2219]

Hi, Chief! My name is Nilson. I'm from Brazil. I whatch your classes and I want to learn your idiom. But for it I need to know where I buy any book with lakota language. Could you help me? Thanks a lot.

[@nancychace8619]

Thank you for sharing.

[@dalethehardluckcowboy7852]

Hello, Does Sam High Crane have more of his teachings on video besides the ones on this playlist? Very good teacher.

[@thatguystreeservice3548]

[@alysgrant6732]

IS THERE ANY WAY FOR ME TO GET THE BOOKS USED IN THESE LESSONS? ALSO, BEING ON LONG ISLAND, IS THERE A SITE WHERE I COULD INTERACT AND USE LAKOTA LANGUAGE, TO SPEAK WITH OTHERS SPEAKING LAKOTA?

[@williamredstar9202]

How do I get the books you have to study

[@Soldiert0rtuga]

How an I get a book?

[@emmaflavell3341]

Hau kola, I studied the Lakota language, now fluent, I can recommend the New Lakota Dictionary, it's expensive but valuable , it was a Pilamayaye from my husband, as a wašiču it may seem silly to learn, no way of using it and hypocritical to learn a language that wašiču tried to hard to erase, my reason for learning the language was simple, it's a Nod to the people who through all my years on the planet have made me feel humble and fascinated. Took three years to learn and I'm sad that it's over, I guess now I go back to the menial task of getting old and looking forward to wearing incontinence pads, will I still be able to speak Lakota when I lose my teeth ? Maybe the Great Mystery could answer that ,until then I leave you with my still favourite phrase.. He tuwe unkče, omana siča!!!!

[@cayugafeather7772]

Нашёл общее между языком лакота и русским! В обоих нет слов с буквой Ф

[@shirleyfunte3063]

My art work was sighted by a Wal-Mart manager and he wanted me to produce more designs of my own designs but mine are exclusive. They are one of a kind only creations of mine. If you get any of my work knitted, crocheted or seen you have a masterpiece no one else will ever have. A Walmart customer, I never knew passed by me and commented that he really for real liked the hat I was wearing and wanted to know where I got it. He stood in front of me and was I ever surprised! It was a guy in his 20 s. He liked the design of my French hat. It was in varied bright colors of pink. Yes I made it from fine soft silky yarn. A one of a kind crocheted hat.If the guyTHAT SAW ME AND MADE THE CONTACT SPREAD THE NEWS OF MY CRAFT. THANK YOU. 0
