 Sunka: (shoon-kah) General description for all dogs.
"Sungmanitu: ''coyote" When you say "sungmanitu tanka" a description of a wolf, we imagine a figure similar to a coyote but much larger. *"Sung" is short for ''Sunka". "Manitu" today is translated as''the wilds" or ''wilderness'' but actually ''manitu" describes an area where there are no human beings. The English translation is misleading.

Thank you for your translations. I am of Lakota heritage from North Dakota. My mother was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota on June 20, 1925. She attended high school there with Jewel Simmons Monroe and Robert “Bob” Monroe. She graduated from University North Dakota and was a Delta Gamma girl.
