Forward After the Minnesota Massacre in 1862, the Dakota bands that retreated into Canada settled in different areas. Today these bands are Dakota Tipi, formerly Sioux Village, in Portage La Prairie; Chankagha - Otina, Birdtail Sioux; Wipazoka Wakpa, Sioux Valley; Chanupa Wakpa, Pipestone Sioux; Tantanka Nanzin, Standing Buffalo; Wapaha Ska, Whitecap Reserve; and Wakhpetunwan, Prince Albert Sioux. With the scattering of the bands came a change in Dakota language and culture. This change would render Dakota people more vulnerable to government policies of cultural and language extinction. These policies would speed the process of assimilation. Dakota language and culture were perceived as detriments to the subjugation of Dakota people. These policies produced four generations of Dakota who increasingly lost their sense of who they were as Dakota people. Residential schools were an important tool in a successful completion of the task. The sole purpose in the development of Dakota Language materials is to revitalize, retain and reverse the language shift towards extinction.

If we are to save our language there is one thing, and only one thing that will achieve the goal. It is not complicated, it is not expensive, and anyone can do it to a greater or lesser degree. It is a secret known and used by many cultures. I myself have used this secret for as long as I have lived. I have taught my six children the secret; some have applied it, some haven't. I practiced the secret while a stUdent in residential school, under the threat of severe punishment. Today I watch my people looking for the secret to success and happiness. They look in books, movies, television, magazines and alcohol and drugs. A sense of success and happiness stems from being proud of who you are and what you do; language and culture teach you about the unique person you are and about being proud of yourself. The secret is to speak our Dakota language to others: our children, our relatives, our friends and our Creator. Words, by themselves, are little more than a collection of lines, dots and squiggles. In fact, language has little to do with words. Language is about the expression of history; man's relationship to the environment and the animals that surround us; kinship relationships with those we live with and our spiritual relationship with our Creator. A dictionary, by itself, is incapable of transcending the gap between meaning and feelings. Fluency has little to do with pronunciation and articulation; it has to do with the cultural meaning of the words and the understanding of the pictures created by the words. Embodied within kinship roles, oral traditions, history and meaning is hidden the seeds of your uniqueness. Language is learned from Elders in our communities who are speakers of the Dakota language.

challenge is that they are older each day. If the Elders do not pass on their language and culture to the generations to come, before they die, we will have nothing but a collection of sterile words, dictionaries and thesauruses incapable of creating the feeling of "Indianess", devoid of the pride that awaits us in our journey to success and happiness. Culture and language are continually changing as society changes. What of the Dakota language? What of the ability to communicate our needs in this everchanging world? Our roles as parents and kin, our relationship to our environment, our spirituality, and our link to previous generations are all embodied in the language. What we lose when our language is gone is the ability to speak about profound physical, psychological, and spiritual concepts in our own language. Spiritual relevance is very much found in our language. The retention of the Dakota language and culture is not about losing the language and culture you presently have. It is about having the richness of another way of thinking and feeling about the world around you. A world in which you can identify yourself and feel proud of who you are.

Our Dakota children will have a culture and a language. As parents, kin and Dakota people we will have a great deal of influence on the language and culture of our young people. Whether is will be based on television, video games, the roles of actors on TV and magazines or a lovingly taught language containing cultural concepts, we can foster pride through the application of the language concepts. The clock is running; the speakers of the Dakota language and those who understand the culture are advancing in years. Who will replace them when they are gone? Who will there be to understand the Dakota language and all its nuances, roles, history and spirituality? Who is going to reverse the trend towards extinction? More than language is lost when a language disappears, never to come back, never to be understood except as a collection of words. We all have a great responsibility!
