Product Description
This dictionary of 12,000 entries aims to preserve Indian culture and at all points illustrate the use of words in examples, especially syntactic words, whose usage cannot be captured purely by giving an English equivalent. It provides depth as regards the usage of frequently occurring items and especially in the use of syntactic elements and usage in context.

Lots of errors
25 Jan 2010
There are a lot of errors in this dictionary. Many of them are taken from the older missionary dictionaries. And the spelling is hard to read. If you are serious about learning Lakota, the only truly reliable dictionary is the New Lakota Dictionary.

good, but...
27 Nov 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book, but I find it to be at odds with many other sources of Lakota linguistics. Many traditional terms and spellings are simply missing, and I think that my ancestors would not be generally impressed. I received it as a gift, and appreciate the work that went into it, but their are other more comprehensive choices.
