At Wíyouŋkihipi Productions, we are dedicated to uplifting and supporting the community through the teachings of Wodakota — balance, harmony, and peace. Our mission is to create a platform for Oceti Sakowin voices to thrive, sharing cultural knowledge and wisdom with future generations through events, books, and free resources.
As a resource hub, we focus on publishing children’s books that celebrate Dakota/Lakota culture and language, while also organizing community events that highlight the values and teachings of Wodakota. These efforts provide meaningful tools for families, educators, and learners of all ages, fostering deeper connections to Indigenous culture and traditions.
Through storytelling, education, and community-building, we aim to amplify Dakota stories, nurture cultural pride, and inspire future generations to carry these teachings forward. Thank you for being a part of this journey to preserve and share the beauty of Dakota culture.
