Lakota Culture 104: Acculturation

Native people adopt White culture to varying degrees. In this video, Lakota Elder Larry Salway describes four different levels of acculturation - from totally integrated to totally isolated.

Larry Salway grew up on the Rosebud Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. He rose out of the poverty of his childhood and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and later, a professor at the Oglala Lakota College campuses in Kyle and Rapid City, SD. He served for five years as Tribal Judge in Pine Ridge, SD. Mr. Salway has also served as pastor of churches in Arizona and South Dakota. Larry is Co-President of Life Initiatives.

agreed on mortgage payments. on the other hand, these programs have been installed to destroy us all. they are meant to rob us of our individual and national sovereignty. in order for the government, which has no money, to give to someone, they must take from another. non-natives and natives need to begin rejecting these programs and reclaiming our own independence and ability to produce. until we all win this battle together, we will all be living in chaos.
