Lakota Texts is a treasure trove of stories told in the original
language by modern Lakota women who make their home in Denver,
Colorado. Sometimes witty, often moving, and invariably engaging
and fascinating, these stories are both autobiographical and
cultural. The stories present personal experiences along with
lessons the women have learned or were taught about Lakota history,
culture, and legends. The women share aspects of their own lives,
including such rituals as powwows, the sweatlodge, and rites of
puberty. The women also include details of the older Lakota world
and its customs, revered myths, more recent stories, and jokes. In
addition to the valuable light Lakota Texts sheds on the lives of
modern Lakota women, these stories also represent a significant
contribution to American Indian linguistics. Regina Pustet has
meticulously transcribed and translated the stories in a detailed,
interlinear format that makes the texts a rich source of
information about modern Lakota language itself.
