New Lakota Dictionary to Transform Language
       RAPID CITY, S.D., July 15 (AScribe Newswire) — Lakota Language
Consortium announces the publication of the New Lakota Dictionary. This highly
anticipated reference text is expected to be one of the most important works
ever published in the language. It goes on sale Friday, July 18, through the
Lakota Language Consortium.
       The 1,112-page volume is the most up-to-date and comprehensive dictionary
to emerge in the last 75 years and is designed to serve as a foundation for
modern Lakota and Dakota in the 21st century. The dictionary is the product of
25 years of linguistic work with over 300 fluent speakers from across all the
dialect areas. It represents the Lakota language and its dialects with complete
historical and contemporary accuracy from the Sioux reservations of Standing
Rock, Cheyenne River, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, as well as the eastern Yankton and
Santee-Sisseton communities.

GARDEN WARRIORS’ FARMERS’ MARKET

Jul 16th, 2008 Posted in HEALTH & NUTRITION | no comment »

GARDEN WARRIORS’ FARMERS’ MARKET
Dream of Wild Health–a 10-acre Native owned and run farm in Hugo,
MN–will be selling fresh, organic produce at the Wolves’ Den on
Thursday, July 17, from 10 am to noon. Hard-working Native teens from
the Twin Cities will be offering beans, carrots, mint, spinach, kale,
onion bunches, lettuce mix, sage, cilantro, parsley, basil, and flower
bouquets. These teens are part of the Garden Warriors program, a
four-week garden apprenticeship that teaches teens about healthy food,
organic gardening, diabetes prevention, and job skills.
