Oceti Sakowin Treaty Councils Call Emergency Action To Rescue Lakota Language

October 19, 2025 Native News Online. , , ,
The Oceti Sakowin Treaty Councils issue this urgent call to all Lakota people, communities, and leadership: it is time to launch large-scale emergency operations to rescue and restore the Lakota language. The Councils recognize that our language is the living heart of our Nation, and without decisive action, it stands on the brink of irretrievable loss. The Lakota Iyapi (Voice) is the very first source of our inherent sovereignty. It is how we remain close to our ancestors, our Unci and Tunkasila of long ago. We have walked this earth for millions of years, but today we face the near end of our sacred language. Lakota Iyapi is not only the way we communicate with one another, but also the way we speak with the powers of creation.

For Sicanjgu, Food Sovereignty Means Eating Climate-Friendly

January 18, 2025 Grace Hussain, Resilience. , , ,
On a Wednesday summer evening on the Rosebud Reservation, members of the Siċaŋġu Nation arrange 12 tables to form a U around the parking lot of a South Dakota Boys & Girls Club. The tables at the Siċaŋġu Harvest Market are laden with homemade foods for sale—tortillas, cooked beans, pickles, and fresh-squeezed lemonade. The market is one of many ways the nonprofit increases access to traditional and healthful foods that also happen to come with a low climate impact. The Lakota, of which Siċaŋġu is one of seven nations, were traditionally hunters and gatherers, but today, the Siċaŋġu Co nonprofit is building on both new and old traditions to fulfill its mission.
