For years, several Lakota organizations have been creating incredible language videos—and now, for the first time, they’re all in one place. Videos from Wóiwahoye Gluótkuŋzapi, Tusweca Tiospaye, Thunder Valley, Hoyeya, Gen7, Carmelia Shouldis and Maȟpíya Lúta are featured in Waŋyaŋŋ Yaŋkápi, providing a diverse and vibrant learning experience for users.
The app offers a chance to explore the Lakota language at your own pace, with lessons, stories, songs, and resources accessible anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re just beginning your language journey or already an advanced speaker, Waŋyaŋŋ Yaŋkápi has something for you. We are committed to expanding the app’s offerings, bringing more lessons and even more contributors into the fold as they continue to grow this resource.
This initiative not only centralizes all these efforts but also makes learning the Lakota language more accessible than ever before. By putting these resources into a single app, these organizations are making sure that the next generation has the tools they need to ensure their connection to the language.
The app is now available for download on all major app stores.
