{ "item_title" : "Lakota Texts", "item_author" : [" Regina Pustet "], "item_description" : "Lakota Texts is a treasure trove of stories told in the original language by three modern Lakota women who made their home in Denver, Colorado: Mary Light, Florine Red Ear Horse, and Neva Standing Bear. Sometimes witty, often moving, and invariably engaging and fascinating, these stories are both autobiographical and cultural texts. The stories present personal experiences along with lessons the women have learned or were taught about Lakota history, culture, and legends. The women share aspects of their own lives, including such rituals as powwows, the sweat lodge, and rites of puberty. The women also include details of the older Lakota world and its customs, revered myths, more recent stories, and jokes.In addition to the valuable light Lakota Texts sheds on the lives of modern Lakota women, these stories also represent a significant contribution to American Indian linguistics. Regina Pustet has meticulously transcribed and translated the stories in a detailed, interlinear format that makes the texts a rich source of information about modern Lakota language itself.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/49/625/108/1496251083_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "45.00", "online_price" : "45.00", "our_price" : "45.00", "club_price" : "45.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
