Welcome to Black Wolf Books - where the first in the series "Black Wolf: Lakota Man," by Magnolia Belle, will be published this fall.

In writing this series, a few Lakota Sioux terms have been used.

misún [mee-SUNG] — younger brother (the proper letter for the 'n' won't show up here, but it looks like an 'n' with the tail of a 'g')

čhiyé [chee-YAH] — older brother

Wakú kte [wah-KOO ktay] — I’ll see you again.

Inipi [in eh peh] — sweat lodge


In my research on Lakota language, I never came across any terms of endearment, such as 'sweetheart' or 'dear.' If anyone reading this knows any of these words, please click on the ‘comment’ button and tell us.
