you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each

do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys."

D. Nelson S. D. Nelson is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the Dakotas. "My people are known as the Sioux or Lakota. During the 19th century they were renowned as the Horse People of the Great Plains. My ancestors were also the people of the Buffalo, for the Buffalo gave them most of their food, their warm robes, and the lodge skins of their tipis. My people followed great herds of them across the vast grasslands beneath an endless blue sky." |

About
This Issue's Greeting - "Keshi"
|
"Hello"
is "Keshi" in Yuni. it is pronounced "kay-shee." Zuni is a language of
the Zuni people, indigenous to western New Mexico and eastern Arizona
in the United States. It is spoken by around 9,500 people worldwide, especially
in the vicinity of Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico, and much smaller numbers in
parts of Arizona. Unlike most indigenous languages in the US, Zuni
is still spoken by a significant number of children and, thus, is comparatively
less threatened with language endangerment. Edmund Ladd reported in 1994
that Zuni is still the main language of communication in the pueblo and
is used in the home (Newman 1996).
