The first question I would ask is, why associate Lakota text with 
English?  I assume by this you mean that Word thinks the Lakota text is 
English, but you have somehow substituted another spell checker (else 
all the words in the text would have red underlines).

I'm not sure what the method is to tell Word (and the other MsOffice 
products) that there is a language called Lakota, but there must be one 
(since Ms is very involved in and knowledgeable about 
internationalization).  And presumably that is where you define the 
word-forming characters of the language.

This is probably not the right forum to ask that kind of question.  I 
would go to Google groups and look for "groups" that address 
internationalization (there's an abbreviation, something like in8ion) 
and/or MsOffice.  Also search Microsoft's website for 
"internationalization".
