Some of the white mans' translations of Lakota names is downright derogatory. I wonder if it was intentional or just ignorance. I know that many Lakota words are difficult if not impossible to translate into English.

hi redlightnacrosssky!
Great to hear from you. Whereabouts are you in Canada?
Can you tell us more about your family connection to Lakotas in the USA?
Many thanks
Kingsley

i got lots, its a major blow to find this information, i have been guided by my unkas and kunshies to figure it out for them too....but i came across of this stuff and im like wow....we grew up knowing our unkas had a sacred secret but couldnt figure it out because of the scatter and mass confusion and being misrepresented....iam gratefull to this site and i have pictures to show our unkas and kunshies story from the Canadian side.

Do you know when and why your ancestors moved up to Canada?
It's a fascinating hidden story of the Lakota people
