Here's a first: Berenstain Bears in the Lakota language

Twenty episodes of Berenstain Bears cartoons will soon air on South Dakota Public Television -- in the Lakota language. The Associated Press is reporting today (Aug. 30) that the shows begin running this fall. The AP says it's the first time in the United States that a cartoon series has been translated to a Native language and widely distributed, according to Wilhelm Meya, executive director of Lakota Language Consortium, a nonprofit that partnered with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to co-produce the Lakota version of the series.
