Although the term "medicine" has been applied indiscriminately to native American cultures, there are many different terms in Lakota, each with different shades of meaning. Pezuta is used for medicine in the sense of a curative treatment of any kind; wotawe is a war medicine; wowokan is spiritual power; hmunga is the use of bad medicine and so on.
Similarly there are many different words for different shades of yellow: zi, ziska, ziyaska, zisan, kpasyazi, wiziye and so on.
Similarly there are many different terms for "boy" depending on age and position in the family.
Taking perhaps the least likely but most literal translation you would have pezutazi hokshila owachi (medicine-yellow boy he dances). A Lakota speaker would be horrified . . .
