Watch this video depicting the Lakota way of life. The video is 3 minutes, so watch the entire thing all the way through first without stopping and without writing anything. After you have watched it completely through, play it again. On the second time through, you will be doing some thinking, writing, comparing and contrasting. The video is broken up into segments of text explaining different parts of the Lakota way of life. Your assignment is to choose 5 aspects the video talks about. Tell me in a brief explanation, the five aspects you chose. After that, you are to compare those five aspects of Lakota way of life to our way of life here in 2009. What is similar? What is different? Think deep-perhaps some of there ways are NOT that different from our ways? Maybe they are? You need to make those conclusions.
Task: Watch the Lakota Way of Life YouTube video. Choose five aspects the video talks about. Explain them in a brief paragraph. Compare the five aspects you chose to our way of life in 2009. Explain how they are similar and/or different.
Due Date: Sunday, September 13th. Midnight.

The man married into his wife's band. He would move into her new tipi. The Grandmothers were very special and usually live next door.
They lived in bands camped together in groups of four, with a central gathering area. When scouts searched for game they would bring news to the chiefs of where the game was. If the chiefs agreed they would migrate there. The couples had children only every 6 years. At the central gathering area they would sing, dance and celebrate. Showing off was looked down upon.
Now the the when people get married they move away from there parents. Now we don't camp in bands but all over. We don't move place to place, wherever there's food, we now can just stay put. People don't have children every 6 years, but more often sooner. Showing off today is also looked down upon, just not as often.
The Lakota are made up of 7 different groups. They also had wars like we do, but over land. The women were thought highly of because they were responsible for child rearing and upkeeoing the camp. The entire band were there family instead of only the people that you live. The band was broken into groups of 4.

Whats similar is that we both have wars and familys. Whats different is that they have 7 groups and we have 50 states.
Tanner, Desire: Thank you very much for completing this blog task. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to see everyone else post something.
I find it interesting AND cool that Lakota value women and children so much. Far too often, throughout the history of our world, women and children do not always get treated the best.
The Lakota have 7 groups, the O'henumpa, Hunkpapa, Miniconjou, Sihasapa, Sicangu, Itazipco, and Oglala. The women are thought of very highly, they are responsible for child rearing and the upkeep of the camp. A man would move into the women's band and tipi once they were married. They are only allowed to have children every 6 years. Children have freedom but they are taught politness.
The things that we have in common are that most children are manners and how to be polite. Women are not put down like they used to be many years ago and we think highly of them. We aren't catagorized into groups and we don't have a time limit on how many years we have to wait to have children. Also I don't think that very many kids have that much freedom and are not taken care of by the whole town.
the Lakotas were made up of many band that formed 7 large groups. Women where thought highly of. also a man married into his wifes band and move into her tipi, usually the wifes mother lifed next door, grandmas where very special.
some similar things are woman are thought highly of most of the time and grandmas are special to us, somethings diffrent are that there are 7 large groups and we have 50 states.
They were shaped over many elements of survival and buffalo was a key element and they are still around today.They were hunters and warriors. Many times the wars were over living grounds.Women were thought highly of and had great responsiblity at the camp.
1) The women are usually in charge os children today but men also help take care of them.
2) The women usually marry into the mans family by taking his last name these days and it was the other way around back then.
3) We dont get the freedom like the Lakota children do.
4) The children were taught politeness just like we were at a young age.
5) When they gather they dress in their finest kind of like at special events in out time.
I think that it is really cool that this culture has lasted this long even over the hard times that they have been through. My sister is learning Lakota in collage right now she is hoping to go the a restvation when she is done and she want to teach at one when she grows up. Just from her I find that the culture is so cool. I watched a movie with her and she teachs me some of their beautiful language.!
The Lakota valued women and they were in charge of the children, which they could only have every six years, and they had no worries and let their kids wander in the bands. They thought it was the best thing to develop indivduality.
The man married into the wife's band and that person was supposed to be from another band.
I think their culture is very unique; the man/husband was to marry into the wife's band which is opposite of today. They also thought of women as important unlike some other events in our history where women were treated as lower class. Now days couples may have kids whenever they want it doesn't have to be every 6 years like the Lakota's. Since then many things have changed.
The Lakota's made up bands that formed 7 large groups, and they considered this there family. The woman in this culture were thought of very highly, and owned there tepee, and everything in it. Parent didn't worry about there children, they could wander and were taught politeness by the entire group. The man moved into the womans group, and when they met with other groups, the young men & woman would dress very finely, trying to find a husband or wife from another group.
With us, we don't have bands, but if I were to compare them to anything I would say they would be very much like city's. Only we don't consider our town our family. And I agree with Klumper, woman & children don't often get treated respectfully through out history, so its interesting that they treated them with such high regard. Also, the man moved to the womans group, which is sort of like our costume of exchanging last names...but vis-versa. The one thing we have in common is that we each try to get attention from the other gender (:
When a man got married to a girl they would move into a tipi. The grandmothers would live next to them. When scouts found new game they would bring the news to the chief and if a ll chiefs agreed they would move to where the new game was. The couples were only allowed to have a child only every 6 years. If they were hunters they were also warriors.
Things that are similar are that we both fight in wars. The difference is that we don't try to win wars for land we try to win wars to help others that aren't being treated fairly kind of like World War 2 when Hitler rose to power.
They were worriors. They fought wars just like us they fought the Crow and the Pawnee. They fought over land and not rights. They were only aloud to have childen every 6 years and we can have childen when ever we want. There kids had no rules they were able to run free because they are safe there. The central gathering is a social area for song. They would sing and dance in the central gathering. They would show off there best clothes. Just like us going to a party.
these people were forced to move onto resorvations. we live freely and can move from place to place.
a man moved into his wifes band, and went by her last name. we go by the husbands last name normally and they normaly by a house.
men try to impress the women with face paint and jewewlry. now it is mostly the other way around.children could only be made evry 6 years. they were also given complete freedom. now we can have kids when ever and we keep with family until 18.bands camp together
and are aranged around a central area. we are also aranged around one area it is jut a little differnt. made for shopping or going out to eat.
these people were forced to live on reservations. we can live freeely and move from place to place.
before this though they lived in bands. each band was based around a central area. we have something simular called down town.
men married into a womens band. he takes her last name. we nomally have the wife take new name an they by a hoouse together.
children could only be made evry six years.they had complete freedom.we canhave kids when ever and kids live with parents until 18.
camps move with the animalsor to more fertile soil.we livee werever and use a store.
The Lakotas were made up of many bands that formed 7 large groups. The buffalo were one of the key elements in the Lakota Culture. Hunters where warriors that fought groups kind of like we do in todays day. Women where responsible for the child rearing and the upkeep of the camp. A Lakota couple could only have every 6 years.
Lakotas had groupls of bands and today they still have groups like 1school is a group and so on. Warriors where just like soldiers that fight in todays day. A Lakota couple can have a child every 6 years today they could have as many as the want.
1.) The Oyate Lokota, the Lokota Nation, were the western-most group of the Great Sioux Naton. Two other grous are the Nakota and Dakota.
2.) The Lakotas were made up of many bands that formed 7 large groups: The O'henumpa, Hunkpapa, Miniconjou, Sihasapa, Sicangu, Itazipco and Oglala.
3.)Luther Standing Bear, whose writing this series is based on, was from a band within the Oglala. He lived in the traditional Lokota Way until he was about 11, when the Oglala were forced onto the Pine Ridge Reservation.
4.) As well as being hunters, they were also warriors. They fought groups such as the Crow and the Pawnee, usually over territorial encroachments. Any brave could aspire to become a warrior, a scout or a hunter.
5.) Women were thought highly of the Lakotas. There were responsible for child rearing and the upkeep of the camp. Her tipi was considered her domain, and she owned it, as well as all of it's contents.
Number five is kind of the same now a day but not really now its up to some of the kids to watch out for other kids as some parents have to work not just stay home and watch kids they now can say to there husbands that they are leavin for a while to go out to diner with some friends but back then they couldn't.
The Lakota'a has 7 groups. The buffalo where a huge thing is to the Lakota's. The women were highly thought. They were responsible for taking care of the children and to upkeep the camp. The men married into his wife's band. He would move in with her.
The lakotascould only hafve a child 6 years, but it doesnt matter now many we have. The men would move in with him wife, same here cause usually when you get marreid you life together. They lived in groups with i think is kinda to us as races. Buffalo where i big thing to they, cows and pigs are to us for meat
Lakota Ways
1. The Lakota fought with other Indian tribes
2. Women were responsible for taking care or the children.
3. Grandmother's were very special.
4. The entire band was the child's family.
5. The Lakota had four bands around a central gathering area.
Our Ways
1. We still fight with other countries, so that's similar.
2. Women still take care of children more than men do. So that's also similar.
3. Grandparents are still special, but not as often as the Lakota grandmothers.
4. Only parents, grandparents, uncles, aunt, cousins and such are family.
5. We have 50 states and the white house is like a central gathering area for political figures.

The people were divided into 7 different groups in which they all lived. They also lived in the souix dakota reagon. They hunted buffalo and elk. The children were taught to behave and polite. They all had to gather in an area to talk every once-in-a-while. Finaly they would move to follow the food.
Now days, we dont hunt, or live in tipis, or even ride horses much for transportation. We still farm and live in groups around the state though. We still ride horses, just not as the main source of transportation. That is all i have learned about the Lakota...
