History of the Lakota People
Hau kola! is a typical greeting in Lakota and means "Hello friend." Contemporary Lakota also use Mitakuye oyasin as a greeting. It means "all my relatives" or "we are all related".
The purpose of these web pages is to present my research on the astronomy of the Lakota people as well as general information on archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy.
This web site is revised several times each year and will be in a constant state of "construction."
Look at Online Articles for a short article I prepared on Lakota Ethnoastronomy, and at History of the Lakota People for a brief history. I also will include brief sections from my forthcoming book on 19th Century Lakota astronomy. Incorporating Archaeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy into an Astronomy Course is the PowerPoint version of a talk, with notes, that I gave at the American Association of Physics Teachers meeting in Albuquerque, NM, on 11 January 2005.
The Photos section of this site includes
photographs I've taken of Lakota sites
and people.
If you want to read more about the Lakota people, their culture and
history, consult my online Bibliography
.
I have included some copies of hard to locate materials in the Online Texts section.

Mitakuye oyasin!
