In 1997,  Tashna published her first book.  "Lakhota Name Translations."  A book that combined her love of names and their meanings with their Lakota translations.  By 1999, after years of compiling and writing, she published, "The Concise Lakhota Dictionary."    

For several years after 1999, she worked in digital format only, publishing her dictionary on CD-ROM and online.  But in 2004, she returned to hard cover and made her Pocket Dictionary, "The NEW English - Lakhota Dictionary" available to the public.  Not long after, she created a workbook to accompany the Pocket Dictionary.  She says her workbook is her favorite work on the Lakota Language to this date.   

2005-2007, Tashna was busy raising her brand new family and during that time also wrote several children's Lakhota books.  She never stopped working on her Lakhota resource books, but her progress slowed tremendously.

Finally in 2011, after 16 years of working with the Lakota language, Tashna turned her focus towards children's literature.
