In Lakhota (according to the cards of St.Joseph's Indian School, deBuechelized respelling): Wanikiya th^uNpi wowiyus^tiN. (N is for engma, ^ for hachek) Literally: The one who causes life is born, rejoicing. Christmas blessings to you and your loved ones. Willem de Reuse P.S. The new linguistic term "deBuechelization" is my Christmas gift to Siouanists.
