Lessico Lakota. Storia, spiritualità e dizionario Italiano-Lakota
The first Italian-English-Lakota dictionary, enriched with the history, rituals and traditions of the famous Native American people. ‘When our people stop speaking Lakota, we will be Wasicu, White Men,’ say the Lakota. Their language has been handed down by oral tradition and has undergone many transformations due to written transposition and contamination by English. In this Italian-Lakota dictionary, which also contains the English translation, we find a point of reference. Based on a comparison of studies by Beuchel, White Hat and others, the work brings together the history and traditions of the proud Sioux-Lakota people, strenuous and ultimate fighters for their identity and for the right to their sacred lands, the Black Hills.
