This project aims to explore the “pseudo-linguistics” of Lakota, and Dakota to some extent, that was developed by European missionaries and how these missionaries’ roles within “documenting” the language has hindered the language revitalization movement today. Written resources of Lakota language are mostly based on the descriptive grammars that these missionaries developed and how this fact perpetuates settler colonial violence within the modern-day Lakota language revitalization community. This leaves the community in desperate need for a language curriculum based in traditional teachings. There will be a discussion of land-based language curriculum and how this kind of curriculum development is taking place within the specific location of Lakota Youth Development, a native non-profit organization located in the Milks Camp Community of the Rosebud Indian Reservation of South Dakota.
