Our approach to immersion is through interactive dialog that supports the students in speaking Lakota throughout the day, in social situations, practical work contexts, and artistic activities, as well as classroom lessons.

This program will utilize existing/new resources (school garden, hoop greenhouse, Lakota-fluent elders, Lakota-learning teachers, community outreach, organizational collaboration) to provide language immersion for 50-60 children, K-8, advancing LWS’s mission of incorporating Lakota language/culture into the daily curriculum with Waldorf experiential hands-on teaching methods, leading to ultimate goal of language fluency.
