Description

Languages are more than just words, they are a reflection of and medium for sharing a world view. Many traditional indigenous languages of Turtle Island (USA) reflect a worldview of animacy and aliveness. This is true for the Bodewadmi (Potawatomi) language. This episode is about how learning my traditional ancestral language opened my world to aliveness, spirit, and connection to ancestors and "all my relations" (ndenwemagnek).
