Research terminology translated to Lakota by Gene D. Thin Elk, Sichangu Lakota, Towela Clan, former Director - CRCAIH Culture, Bioethics, & Science Core

Many clinical and research-related words that are frequently used today cannot be directly translated from indigenous languages. To gain a better understanding of these words and how these words relate across languages, below are some examples along with the literal translation.

NOTE: Many Lakota words and phrases are gender specific, so the following list of descriptive terms identifies a sentence for a person (female or male) speaking to either a female or a male.
