Word Carrier / iapi oaye

[cinye78]

Great news, the Minnesota Historical Society had digitized the Word carrier newspaper.

Both the Dakota and English version is now on-line.

Why is this address not opening?

The Dakota are lucky as they had a written language which started in 1852.
This Presbyterian / Congregational newspaper started in 1871 and continues to about 1936.
There is news from most of the Dakota/ Nakota/ Lakota Reservations, including the Canadian Reserves.

If you can open this address I posted; just type in either iap oaye or word carrier.

Hau Kodapi:
Now everyone interested is going to have brush up on reading Dakota.
I know the Iapi Oaye has a lot of fluff, but there are gems here and there.
Place names, biographies, birth and death notices, speeches by famous Dakota, etc.
As most on this website are interested in Lakota, you can see news about what was going on the same time as Custer was defeated, treaty delegations, and Wounded Knee.
Research takes many hours, just to write one sentence in a book.
Toksta ake.
