Sage and Sweetgrass is a 501(c)(3) public charitable non-profit association organized exclusively for educational purposes. More specifically, we are working to record and preserve American Indian languages in written and audio format, and distribute these dictionaries via this web site. We also intend to provide rules on the grammar of the languages. We believe that by saving the language, we preserve the culture.

We currently have small Creek and Koasati dictionaries. Our Lakota dictionary is only partially complete. A small Oneida dictionary is also being developed.

Please feel free to contact us to make a tax-free contribution.
