The Administration for Native Americans (ANA), under the Native American Programs (CFDA 93.612), awarded Oglala Lakota College a $747,142 Project Grant on July 1, 2025, for the Lakota Language Education and Resource Development Project, with a completion date of June 30, 2028. The project deliverables consist of three primary components designed to address the critical status of the Lakota language, which has fewer than 1,000 fluent speakers remaining, most over 65 years old. First, the college will develop an updated college-level textbook for Levels I and II Lakota language studies, replacing outdated 1989 materials with contemporary teaching approaches and culturally relevant content. Second, the project will create a Lakota-English dictionary containing 3,000–5,000 words with audio recordings from fluent speakers, available in both digital and print formats and maintained by Oglala Lakota College for ongoing updates and expansion. The third deliverable establishes a Master-Apprentice Program that pairs fluent Lakota speakers with advanced language learners in a structured immersion environment. Participants will engage in at least six hours per week of intensive language practice over 15-week semesters, incorporating direct instruction and cultural activities. Collectively, these products and services are designed to create sustainable language learning resources while developing a new generation of fluent speakers capable of preserving and advancing the Lakota language within the Oglala Lakota Nation.
