Embark on a journey through Lakota heritage as a spirited guide reveals how the American bison enriched the Lakota people with food, clothing, and ceremonial resources. Young listeners explore essential Lakota words and traditions through engaging visuals and warm, age-appropriate storytelling.

Halhata na Thathanka / Magpie and Buffalo, written and illustrated by Lakota author and artist Alfreda Beartrack Algeo, is the perfect introduction for young children to the important roles the American bison (commonly known as the American buffalo) has played in Lakota culture. With translations by Violet Catches, this board book also serves as a beginner's tool for learning Lakota terminology.
