Lakota Book Translations

Picture
Here we will provide popular English books that have been translated into Lakota. Most were translated by Peter Hill (of the Iyápi Glukínipi Immersion Childcare) or by our very own Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi staff!

Monthly Book Lists
For three months in 2014, a Monthly Book list was supplied for the families in order for individual families to begin to create their own Lakota language library at home. Each book list contains one or two books with Lakota translations.

Book List 1
  • Waštémič’ilake! / I Like Me! - Nancy Carlson
  • Wóžuthi Kiŋ / The Farm - Heather Amery

Book List 2
  • Matȟó Ǧí, Matȟó Ǧí, Táku Čha Waŋláka He? / Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? - Bill Martin Jr / Eric Carle
  • Haŋhépi Wí, Haŋhépi Wašté / Goodnight Moon - Margaret Wise Brown

Book List 3
  • Tȟáȟčašuŋkala Kahápapi / Sheep in a Jeep - Nancy E. Shaw
  • Witzy’s Backyard Easter Hunt -  Suzy Spafford
Turn your English children's book into Lakota books!
Materials needed:
  • Book
  • Paper & Printer
  • Scissor
  • Glue or Tape

Directions for applying the translations:
  • Print out the document containing the translations.
  • Cut out the translations, be sure not to mix them up!
  • Align the translation with the English words. Usually, each line will correspond to a certain page or section of words. If you are unsure which Lakota line corresponds to the English story, try looking up a few of the Lakota words.
  • Glue or tape the translation near the English translation. They do not have to be perfect!
  • Do not cover up the English in case you want to go back and read it!

Lakota Audio Books

We have been trying to make our own audiobooks. So far, only two have been created:
  • Wóžuthi Kiŋ (The Farm)
  • Waštémič’ilake! (I Like Me!)

COMING SOON

A translation of "Through the Eyes of the Eagle"  in Lakota and Dakota. A collaboration between Lakȟól’iyapi Wahóȟpi and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Language and Culture Institute. 
  • "Through The Eyes of The Eagle introduces Rain That Dances, a young boy who discovers an unhappy eagle. Mr. Eagle is tearful because many of the people in the community are developing type 2 diabetes. The wise eagle reminds the boy of his ancestors’ healthy ways."​
