DL: Were you raised with the Dakota language as a child?
AT: Oh yes.
DL: Was that permitted when you got to the residential school?
AT: No.
DL: You couldn’t speak Dakota.
AT: We were just talking about that the other day. Any time the nuns or the priests seen a couple standing together, they assumed that they’re talking Dakota, or whatever. And then they have a glass of soapy water, you gotta gargle and then you gotta drink that to clean. That’s what they tell us, to clean the devil out of us.
