teacher and musician turned developer, i've had a lifelong relationship with Lisps. currently working and playing in Ruby, JS, Erlang, and several Lisps. interest in digital audio and music software
The resources provided by the Lakota Language Consortium have been very helpful lakhota.org/
They've published a new dictionary (book and digital) and a grammar handbook that are excellent for self study. My only caveat is that these materials are primarily produced by academics/outsiders, so just keep in mind that there are other perspectives out there. However, the materials were created with the help of many Lakota elders and there is a trove of knowledge there gained through interviews and deep study of the language. They also publish materials for schools, a few childrens books, and some audio resources, I believe.
There's "Reading and Writing the Lakota Language" by Albert White Hat Sr. He taught at Siŋté Glešká university and there are several videos of language courses from college you can find on Youtube. Its definitely worth it to get the native perspective.
Sitting Bull College also has some resources and offers summer language institutes, which I would highly recommend if you can make it. I just finished a 1 week remote course offered by the Lakota Language Consortium, so they have summer institutes as well. I'm happy to answer more questions! It seems like you just kind of have to get started and make connections with people to really get moving. There's more and more material all the time though, there's a teacher named Denny Gayton who has been making videos on youtube that are more humorous / daily life lakota language. I believe there's some courses on language apps like MemRise, so just go ahead and see what you can find :)
Thank you for reaching out! Glad to know I reached someone.
