Lakota Language Advocate Prevails in Attack on Teaching License

Austrian and Czech heads of the Lakota Language Consortium were unable to take away the teaching license of Ray Taken Alive, Lakota language teacher. The LLC was already banned by the Standing Rock Lakota Nation in North Dakota. LLC believes it owns the images and words of Lakotas, including Ray's grandmother. Read the statement just released by Ray's attorneys Big Fire. Ray had to raise funds after LLC went after his license in an effort to silence him.

Ray said, "In 2020, My Grandmother, Delores Taken Alive, passed away from Covid and since then we’ve been working to reclaim all rights to her Lakota language materials from the Lakota Language Consortium (LLC). The LLC Board Chairman, Wilhelm Meya, is of Austrian descent and receives a salary of over 6 figures selling our language, including materials that belong to my Grandmother ... They have wielded the power of 'copyright' over me twice by accusing me, a Lakota language instructor, of copyright infringement."
