  • Summary

  • Episode 7 of our series is the culmination of our project and also its ending point. Over the past two-plus years, we have done our best to put together a detailed look at the story of the Lakota Oyate -  from origin stories to time before contact with Europeans; from feelings of wonder at the new arrivals to fatal clashes over land and resources; from supposed agreements to genocidal attacks on us, our relative tatanka, our language, and our way of life; from standing up for who we are to finally having our voices heard.

    In this final episode, we will take a different look at the past to see how we arrived here in the present and what needs to be done as we move into our collective future.

    Part 1 begins with a vivid look at the current state of the Lakota language and its importance to our future as an oyate. The second section - our longest segment by far - is an intimate journey through the early lives of many of our beloved project participants. Through it, we will better know these relatives that have so generously shared their lives and stories with us.
