I couldn’t be any proud of our Dakota language students here at Prior Lake. This is our first ever Dakota language class here in prior lake. Today we competed in our first Dakota Language bowl. There was 24 youth teams that competed, we had 6 teams sign up for this event. With all the work we have been putting in this year, our Dakota language students have placed 3rd, 4th, and 5th place in youth beginners. We had one team compete in youth intermediate and placed 3rd.
Once again I’m so proud of our students and the hard work they put in this year for Dakota Language. It goes to show you truly are learning and demonstrate using the language amongst our community and elders.

Keep striving to learn more!!! You guys are doing amazing.
