Lakota Paradigm: Language, Culture, Leadership is an exploratory learning conversation that is practical, relevant and addressing sustainable in modernity at a grass root cultural & global level.  The Lakota Paradigm is an expression of a precious priceless language and traditions that discloses a coherent, integrated, balanced worldview that was passed from grandparents to grandchildren for thousands of years.  The primary distinctions in the languaging are based in social relations - All Our Relatives - including rocks, stars, plants and animals. The intention of this learning exploration is not preservation of a hidden language rather how to learn from the Lakota linguistic distinctions based in ethical virtue, natural law, and a viewpoint of legitimacy-in-coexistence within the web of life. Lakota Sovereignty as a people, community, and nation is dependent upon a thriving language and culture.  The oppression of government, religion and education has created an inter-generational trauma in 1st nation peoples and Maka Si Tomni is committed to revitalizing 1st nation languages as thriving social communities respecting the historic wisdom of generations.  You are invited to participate in this experiential learning exploration and new think tank.  Contacts: Jhon Goes In Center: jgc1@earthlink.net or Marilyn Lone Hill: mhlonehill@msn.com or Patric Roberts: tomni08@gmail.com
