Lakota Language Consortium (LLC) is a nonprofit organization made up of community leaders, linguists, educators, and volunteers. Our mission is to support the revitalization and preservation of Lakȟótiyapi by working to increase the total number of new speakers. We focus on developing language learning materials, training teachers, and promoting a vibrant and positive language community.

Since 2004,  these materials have assisted over 20,000 students across more than 60 school systems in the region and have contributed to healthy language-learning communities. Our teacher training programs have helped expand community capacity for advanced instruction in the language – utilizing effective methods and integrating contextual learning and grammar.

Overall, our goal is to support the language learning community with the materials, resources, and the events needed to speak and utilize the Lakota language in everyday life.
