Lakota Kinship Terms: Male and Female both say: Ina – mother. Ate’ – father. Tunwin- aunt.

Every Lakota person has many relatives. All of them are part of his/her Tiyóspaye, the name given to indicate a person’s circle of relatives, which includes mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins and all relatives from marriage and adoption.

In the Lakota culture, the word tiyospaye encompasses the conviction that family is not only made up of immediate blood relatives, but also extends to all those within their tribal clan. The abundance of family is the measure of your wealth and creates the very foundation of one’s life.

Tiwahe (ti-wah-hay) means family in Dakota. It symbolizes how we are connected to all living things and one’s personal responsibility is to protect family, community, and mother nature. There is no asset more precious to tribes than the health, safety, and well-being of its children, youth, and families.

Kinship Vocabulary

Unci Maka—or Mother Earth—is the giver of life in Lakota culture, so, naturally, protecting her is important to the Lakota people.

“Hokahey” is simply an exclamation to draw attention, similar to a coach saying, “Let’s do it!” It is likely neither Low Dog nor Crazy Horse ever said, “Today is a good day to die,” which is the English bastardization of a common Sioux battle-cry, “Nake nula wauŋ welo!” (“nake nula waun”).

Hoka One One (Pronounced hoka on-ay on-ay) is an athletic shoe company originating in France that designs and markets running shoes.

The Hokas provide remarkable protection for the soles of your feet. Most of the Hokas are very softly cushioned, though Hoka are using a firmer RMAT foam in some of their shoes that seems hard by comparison. The Hokas have far less of a drop between the heel and forefoot than a traditional shoe.

Comparing Hoka vs ASICS running shoes could largely be described as a difference in fit and feel, along with some company philosophy if you care about those things. Both brands provide high quality shoes and offer a variety of models to suit different needs like overpronation, cushioning, and trail running.

The typical lifespan for a pair of running shoes falls in the 250-500 mile range, which in itself is very broad. Some people may find they get less than 200 and others more than 700.

The rides of both shoes are soft but the foam in the Bondi 7’s midsole is firmer and makes it more suited to shorter distances. The lighter weight of the Clifton 8 make it a better long run shoe as it has more cushioning.
