In Deloria's Dakota Texts I found these examples:

huNku thipi kiN ekta i – she went to her mother's tipi
(Eagle Boy story, para 3)

SuNkaku thipi kiN ekta glihuNni – he returned to his younger bother's tipi
(Heart Killer, para 18)

KhuNshitku thipi kiN ekta uN – he was at his grandmother's tipi
(Double face steals a child, para 3)


I don't have the hard copy on hand to indicate page numbers.
