Lakota Value: Wacantognaka (Generosity)

Generosity is something that any real Lakota person has and understands. They learn to provide for their family members and relatives, as well as the needy ones in the community. Therefore a person is looked up to not only for their ability to provide food, clothing and shelter, but also for the ability to give generously and not count the cost. It is better to give a lot than to have a lot and keep it for yourself. To be called "stingy" is the worst insult. When an important occasion comes along, people honor one another with a "giveaway" ceremony or otúȟʼaŋpi.
During this giveaway, the giver gives much of what he has to other people. Sometimes, all possessions are given away.
