No, sorry. I know a few words in the Mohawk language, but no Lakota. My family left the reservation the year the Titanic sunk and never looked back. They got jobs, started businesses, and did pretty well. I was raised very mainstream American, and spent my adult life in the military. These days, I'm retired and have a small ranch.
There are quite a few websites on the Lakota language. You might be able to dig around on Google and come up with something.
