Native American
Language Directory
By CinnamonMoon
I know there are many here who are
interested in the meanings behind the NA words we see and hear
spoken, or are curious about how to say something in NA tongue.
If you are looking for something you don't see here, please
ask. I may be able to help you. I thought I'd begin a work in
progress for you to explore...a dictionary of sorts. If you
care to post those you know please feel free to do so and I'll
be happy to edit them into the dictionary. I'll stick this thread
to the forum top so it's handy for you.

BanjoSally:
I'm
so glad to see such a practical resource here. After spending
time on other shamanism boards in the past, I often wondered
what certain phrases meant but never asked (don't know why).
My husband grew up in an area with many Navajo. He tells me
that the standard greeting was something like "Yet ta hey."
Does anyone know what this means?
NOTE: Interestingly enough, we have inherited a home in the
same small town where he grew up and we plan to move there within
three years.
BearSmiles:
My
Teacher sent me this link...It is to a Navajo Language site...Very
Cool…

Unfortunately, I cannot locate the online one, or any other
unless its in book form. Most of the links are dead in the one
Cinn posted above. I copied and pasted the one I have so it
would be handy for me. I think Wakeyelasapa has one as well.
This is an online dictionary for
english to other various languages.
www.onlinedictionary.com If anyone would like
a copy of the long list I have of the English to Lakhota translation,
please inbox me with your email, and I would be happy to send
it since it seems to have poofed online
Note:
I have checked the links in the article, and have updated them
so they should now work. - Gloria - Dragonfly Dezignz
