SUMMARY:Wóyake: Language in Lakota Art
DESCRIPTION:On Exhibit Now!\nCurated by David A. Meyer II\nAktá Lakota Museum Assistant Curator \nThe “Wóyake: Language in Lakota Art” exhibit features a stunning collection of paintings and artworks that celebrate the act of storytelling through words. \nFrom the Winter Count pictograph’s silent narrative to pieces that incorporate written words\, the exhibit highlights the versatility of the Lakota language in various forms of expression\, each with a distinct linguistic approach.   “Wóyake\,” the exhibit’s title\, means storytelling through verbal expression in Lakota. \nCurated by Meyer from the museum’s collection\, it features works by renowned artists such as Arthur Amiotte\, Roger Broer\, Keith BraveHeart\, Dyani White Hawk\, Nathaniel Ruleaux\, and Dakota Hoska. Meyer adds\, “Wóyake is a powerful testament to the resilience of a people who are determined to ensure their language and heritage is celebrated for generations to come.”

SUMMARY:STORY TIME WITH UŊČÍ & LALÁFather Eagle & The Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Story Time every Tuesday at 10:30 AM CDT. While the program is designed for elementary-age children\, stories read by elders from the Lakota and Dakota communities will be captivating for children of all ages. \nToday our story is Father Eagle and The Hunter\, written and illustrated by Alfreda Beartack-Algeo\, Published by 7th Generation (May 2023). \nAbout the story:  The hunter was tired of only finding berries and seeds to feed his hungry village\, so he decided to look far and wide for some meat to bring to them. When he spotted a tall tree\, he climbed to the top and discovered a nest with three eaglets. “What a tasty soup the three little birds will make!” thought the hunter. \nHearing the warning cries of the eaglets\, Father Eagle flew to their rescue. Father Eagle told the hunter that if he did not take the eaglets\, he would ask the Great Spirit to help the village. The hunter decided to trust Father Eagle and watched him soar high into the sky. Father Eagle returned and told the hunter that the Great Spirit would help his people and would not let his village perish.  From that day forward\, the game was plentiful\, the people flourished\, and the Eagle was forever respected and honored. \nA cultural activity will follow the reading. The event is free and open to everyone – join the fun!
