"Members of the Lakota nation and Marvel Entertainment have teamed up to
provide a dub of 2012’s
The Avengers in the Lakota language, with the core
cast—Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris
Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner—coming together to take part.
“Our ancestors, they were punished for speaking our language,” Executive
Producer Eugene “Ray” Taken Alive said in a video Marvel put out about the
collaboration. He added, “Our language, it went underground. It was spoken in
bedrooms when the matrons weren’t there at boarding schools. It was spoken in
dark rooms where nobody could hear them, but it was still spoken.”
The initiative is part of The Lakota Language Reclamation Project, and aims, as
Project Executive Producer Cyril “Chuck” Archambault says in the video, “to put
the language back in the homes of our people—to be able to have them bond in
such a way where they’re having fun watching a movie, and be totally integrated
with the language of our people.”
The video shows Downey, Johannson and Ruffalo practicing and recording their
lines with their Lakota partners. The project took over fifteen months and
involved sixty-two Lakota-Dakota language speakers and the original
Avengers
team."
