Ok, I may not have been around people who speak Lakota in 7 years, but I gather you are Lakota, or part Lakota, and something about white woman (wasichu winyan) in Australia...and the Great Spirit (Wakan Tanka).
Lila is "very" or "much" but I don't know what imayuskin is.
OK, I need Lakota lessons, but I did live on a lakota Rez one summer :D

Tanyan unhipi na lila imayuskin!

Very good effort!

Basically I said... that I am very glad everyone is here (hooray for a NA christian group at last) and I am happy.
That my 'name' is YellowWindWoman but I'm not Lakota.
I also stated that I live in South Australia and am a white woman.
Lastly...I know I speak Lakota language badly!! May the 'Great Spirit' be with you. I am YellowWindWoman.

So please forgive my input seeing I am not Native but I wanted to input some language in case there was someone who understood Lakota. :kiss:

Shalom My Native Friends who seek the Truth and acknowledge Yeshua HaMashiach as your King and Lamb of HaShem,

Blessed is He who comes in the Name of LORD!!!

Mat 21:9 The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, "Hoshia`na to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hoshia`na in the highest!"

Mat 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Mar 11:9-10 HNV Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, "Hoshia`na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! (10) Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hoshia`na in the highest!"

Luk 19:38-48 HNV saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Shalom in heaven, and glory in the highest!" (39) Some of the Perushim from the multitude said to him, "Rabbi, rebuke your talmidim!" (40) He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out." (41) When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, (42) saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your shalom! But now, they are hidden from your eyes. (43) For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, tzitzit you in on every side, (44) and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation." (45) He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, (46) saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'!" (47) He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief Kohanim and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him. (48) They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

Joh 12:28 Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
Joh 12:44-50 HNV Yeshua cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. (45) He who sees me sees him who sent me. (46) I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. (47) If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. (48) He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day. (49) For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a mitzvah, what I should say, and what I should speak. (50) I know that his mitzvah is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

Greetings Native Brothers and Sisters,

I am 1/2 King Island Eskimo(Mom's side), 1/4 Norweign, 1/8 Scottish, 1/8 European Mix.
My Great Grand Father on my Mom's side was Chief of King Island and He hunted over 80 polar bear in his life.
On my caucasian dads side the King Of Norway was third cousin. I don't know which King.
Went to my first Pow-Wow when I was 16 and just LOVED IT. Haven't been to one since, sad to say. Just didn't know what path to take. Young and Rambuncious is all then.
I am part of Bering Straits Native Corporation that the Government had the Native Alaskans put together with 1 Billion dollars in 1972 if I remember right. They put together 12 regional corporations and one At-Large which I am part of.

Shalom,

Tag

Thanks for the rest of the interp. I didn't have time to hunt down a Lakota dictionary for a full deceiphering of it. Actually it's hard to find a good one on the web.

"Wasichu" is used for "white" in reference to people so I naturally assumed you meant that. However Wasichu's original meaning is "one that is different"

"Ska" is the Lakota word for "White." :)
Technically according to the older tradition a white woman would be "winyanska" but after the "different" invaders came who happened to be white, wasichu was applied to white man (which should actually be said as "wichashaska." (Wichasha" meaning man.)

Well, you speak it better than I do! And I've lived on their rez!

Wow, it's a Native American forum! ^_^ That's awesome... well, I'm not sure of what I should say so I'll ask the obvious question... What tribe do you belong to?

I'm from the Navajo people! :D
Wow cool.. No native american blood in me (as far as one knows anyways) but one belongs to the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph son of Israel..
So if we all go back far enough, we are all related :)

All we know is that my dad's great-great-grandmother was full-blooded Indian and her first name was Mary. No one knows what tribe or anything else about her, and I think that part of the family comes from the N or S Carolina area. If I remember correctly, since she's my great-great-great-grandmother that would make me 1/32 Indian. Not much, but I'm still proud of it!

Inland North Carolina was Cherokee territory, but there were several smaller tribes in the eastern parts of those states.

Does anyone here have Navajo blood? Do you know any of their history or anything about a "Long Walk"? Was that anywhere near as bad as the Cherokee's Trail of Tears? My husband is part Cherokee and where his people were from, they intermarried into white people to survive. Alot of people in the area was forced into the Trail of Tears and landed in Oklahoma. Some were just shot on the spot for being Cherokee. Our son now works with Navajo and some mentioned about their "long walk" but didn't know which was worse. That or the Trail of Tears. Trail of Tears started in NC or GA, and swept through Alabama and many other states. There are still Cherokee stuff around and a Trail of Tears route posted through Alabama. I guess, I should have posted this somewhere else?

I"m actually part Metis... My great great grandfather married a pure-blood metis woman, and so I'm like....what a 12th metis or something? I dont know, cant do the math part, hehe. But I love biegn part metis. I love it love it love it. Th e Native americans fascinate me, their ways and everything, and I think it's what you believe that's important, I believe that I'm more metis than I really am. :)
