Hi Berit,
It was nice writing to you a while back. Glad you enjoyed the book and I'm sure Florence and our late friend would have appreciated you reading it when English is not your first language. You said you were going to start learning Lakota again. Hope that is going well.

Mitákuyepi, I have read the book and liked it very much. English is a foreign Language to me and therefore I might not have understood every detail and it took me some time to read. Also - like Jac already wrote - it is a book you do not ...

Mitákuyepi So the next 100 pages!!! I don't want to give anything away but the horse story was very funny. When people don't know customs and traditions or even the language it's easy for mix-ups to happen. Then such a lot of action. I couldn't wait to turn over the pages to see how events unfolded....

Mitákuyepi, čhaŋtéwašteya napéčhiyuzape ló! I have good news. When our novel Niglíču first came out, our publisher set the price of the ebook at $5.99. We have just now dropped the price to $2.99 to make it accessible to more readers. BTW, the app for reading the book is free: On your computer, ...

The rich storytelling, sprinkled with Indigenous words and language, adds authenticity and depth to the book whilst also developing more cultural awareness and educating its audience. One of the standout features for me personally was the novel’s portrayal ...

Mitákuyepi, I have read the next 100 pages. The people are so real I feel like I know them. You have already managed to squeeze in so many traditions and the Black Robe gets himself frequently into hot water as he doesn't know them and their importance. I can practically see steam coming from Loud B...

... I have just read the first 100 pages of Niglíču written by Florence and Oscar. I am really impressed about how quickly they brought this little book girl to life. She has such spirit, character and seems so real. It is very touching and heartwarming to see the relationship between the little ...

... of Wounded Knee. It’s often painful, heart-wrenching, and sad. But there’s also a message of hope, and love, and the power of human spirit. The book is well written, seamless editing and flow so that you wouldn’t know it was co-authored. It’s a book you will keep thinking about long after you ...

Hi. I bought the book. It is wonderful but the spelling system is older, I think. I also started watching the Berenstain Bears. Thank you again. When you say "I bought the book", I suppose you're talking about the Dakota ...

Hi. I bought the book. It is wonderful but the spelling system is older, I think. I also started watching the Berenstain Bears. Thank you again.

Thank you. That will be a great pleasure. However, I think I need some texts in Lakota. Perhaps some study materials, textbooks with advanced language, and authentic dialogue could be found. If you have any further suggestions, I will really appreciate it. Thank you, Caroline. I have ...

Hau mitakuyepi! Thank you very much for your help. Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe, Jana. I have only the first book and the audio CD of the LLC but I will get the rest of them as soon as posible. It's a pity that Lakota people don't use their own language everyday but it happens ...

Hi Carpallo, The third book and the third audio CD are intended for older children, and they are also great for adults. I, as an adult, started learning with the LLC book 1 and 2 anyway since they come with audio CDs, and thus you learn ...

Hi Everyone, I just received the Level 3 Textbook and it's fantastic! :-V-: I highly recommend people getting it to help learn the Lakota language. Actually I recommend people getting all the Level Books ( One and Two ) along with the CDs. I bought one for my husband too so we can read the conversat...

... it well). What makes NLD-O especially valuable for me is that it saves my eyesight, because I have to admit that repeated changing from screen to book becomes more and more fatiguing as I grow older.

I too agree with all that Jana said. I use the online dictionary when i don't have my book at hand. I can access the internet from my phone and can look up words on the spot if i need to. Sounds bites would be awesome. I found out that i was saying some words wrong ...

I love the NLD-O! :D It's so convenient to have an online version; I can use it wherever I have Internet access, without needing to carry the book around. It's going to be especially useful to me at university, because I will have to leave the NLD book in my room while I go to classes. (I can't ...

I hope to be getting the book my self soon, I need to exercise my brain more in this are. I have been a little stale and slow lately due to work and school.
