 AAA Native Arts - The Nakota, Lakota and Dakota Nations
The Nakota (Nakota, DaNakota, Dakota, Lakota; misnomer “Sioux”) lived upon what is called the northern “great plains”, areas stretching across what is now called Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Trillions of dollars of Nakota gold sits as stolen, occupied property in places like Fort Knox while Lakota on the “Pine Ridge Sioux Indian Reservation” are without jobs, with high rates of diabetes and other health problems, high infant mortality, and the shortest lifespan of all the world’s peoples remain — some near starvation.
The language of the Nakota throws out all the lies taught in America’s schools and can free the minds of the suffering children — if the truth is allowed into the minds of the adults who teach them, care for them, and are responsible for their well-being.

 The Nakota Always Had Horses by Scott Barta My Two Beads Worth
The Nakota Language is not a conglomerate of other languages such as is the case with the corrupted and bastardized “English” language.
Nakota words are very significant and explain their actual meaning and can even help the listener to better understand a more clear purpose of life.
The Nakota word “Mini” (the English word “water”) translates literally into “My Life” with “ni” meaning “Life.” Such a magnificent way to “describe” what “water” really is! Ancient teachings of the Nakota instruct them to be appreciative and thankful for their most basic needs in Life and their pure language proves this point.
