Mnisóta Dakhóta Iápi Oyáŋke - Dakota Language Summer Institute 2021
In order to plan the best Institute possible, we need to know who are learners will be and what they already know and want to learn. These questions help us know that, and it's really important that we gather this information to prevent interruptions when the Institute starts. The answers are confidential and all types of people are welcome at the Institute. If we don't get this info on this form, we will need to follow up by phone and email to get the info from you, so we really appreciate you taking 5 minutes to fill it out now.

We will ask you to confirm your registration in mid-May 2021. Please put the institute on your calendar so you don't forget the dates! We look forward to seeing you!

The Institute is planned for June 28-July 9, with Saturday activities happening on June 26, July 3 & July 10, and breaks on Sundays. There is also a Pre-Institute planned for June 14-25 for Total Beginners and Language Teachers. The Pre-Institute will definitely happen online. The Institute will probably be hybrid, with online classes during the week, unless it becomes safe to hold it all in-person. The Saturday activities will definitely happen in-person in southern Minnesota. Please check all that interest you: *
