Through these ten years I’ve sang this song. Despite the words being pronounced with a male tone. I’ve researched with Dakota speakers and Lakota speakers to try and convert it into a female voice. The result is the translation into Dakota
When I first heard this song, I thought it sounded funny. My mother who was raised speaking, reading and writing in the Dakota language listened to it as well. I further went to a Lakota woman to listen to the wording and hopefully translate it into a woman’s voice as well as have the correct spelling and pronunciation.
I thought I’d write this down as I will eventually will have this on my YouTube channel.
