Lakota culture

The Lakota are a Native American tribe part of the larger Sioux Nation, known for their rich cultural traditions, oral histories, and spiritual practices. Traditionally, they were nomadic, following bison herds across the Great Plains, which played a central role in their way of life and spirituality. Lakota culture emphasizes community, respect for nature, and ceremonies like the Sundance and Sun Dance that honor spiritual beliefs. They also have a deep storytelling tradition, passing down history, values, and lessons through generations. Today, they work to preserve their language, traditions, and sovereignty while engaging with modern society.
