Imagine yourself sitting at your Unči kitchen table, reading this book together. Our initial aim, was for this toolkit to be  embraced as a companion for enhancing  the understanding, and application  of traditional foods among  younger generations.  However, it evolved  into something far greater. 


This book is dedicated to those who were raised with the knowledge of traditional 
foods, as well as those who weren’t fortunate enough to inherit these passed-down  teachings. It’s for both the traditional and non-traditional tiošpaye (extended family),  and for anyone eager to delve into the rich world of traditional Lakota foods.

Supporting Cultural Sustainability

The toolkit will be made available online soon, and hardcopies will be available for pickup in the near future. Due to limited funds, we are only printing 500 copies. This toolkit contains not only our history but also a piece of our present-day culture. In line with our Lakota Values, we will not be selling this information, but instead making it freely available to all who wish to access it. As we have limited resources, if you'd like to support additional print runs, donations are welcome and appreciated.
