Belonging / Ómapha (English-Lakota Bilingual Edition): A Story of Road Trips and Relatives / Otákuye Na Oíchimani Wóoyak, (Hardcover)

<b>Inspired by the author's real-life journeys, this Lakota-English bilingual picture book follows a mother and daughter on a road trip from Atlanta, Georgia, to Standing Rock in the Dakotas--celebrating family, culture, and the meaning of belonging every step of the way.</b> <p>Strapped into a cramped car but eager for the journey ahead, a little girl and her mother embark on a cross-country road trip from Atlanta to Standing Rock. En route, they watch the sunrise from atop the Cahokia Mounds, pray at rivers, and swim in a prairie lake. Finally, mother and daughter arrive at Standing Rock in time for the annual Wakpála wa&amp;#269;hípi (powwow). </p><p>Through their journey, this family lives in the teachings of Mitákuye Owás&amp;#700;i&amp;#331; (we are all Related). They honor their connection with the Human Relatives, Plant and Animal Relatives, and Land and Water Ancestors. Whether with their Black family in Atlanta or their Lakota family in Standing Rock, this family belongs to more than one community and more than one place. They're here to remind you that whoever you are and wherever you are, when you're a good Relative, you belong. </p><p>Wí&amp;#331;ya&amp;#331; wa&amp;#331; &amp;#269;hú&amp;#331;ksitku ki&amp;#269;hí iyé&amp;#269;hi&amp;#331;kya&amp;#331;ka mahél ok&amp;#543;á&amp;#331;sni k'éyas oáka&amp;#331;ke i&amp;#269;áske u&amp;#331; iyúskil'i&amp;#269;'iya ya&amp;#331;kápi na Atlanta e&amp;#269;híyata&amp;#331;ha&amp;#331; Í&amp;#331;ya&amp;#331; Woslál Há&amp;#331; é&amp;#269;hetkiya iyókphiya glápi. &amp;#268;ha&amp;#331;kú ki&amp;#331; ogná, Cahokia Apáhaka-Ká&amp;#487;api aká&amp;#331;l wíhinap&amp;#543;a &amp;#269;ha wa&amp;#331;yá&amp;#331;g názi&amp;#331;pi na wakpá ektákta wa&amp;#269;hékiyapi na obláyeta blé wa&amp;#331; ektá nu&amp;#331;wá&amp;#331;pi.
