Thank you so much Emily Sabo to shine a light on this beautiful language and culture. This video made me emotional and hearing the testimonials of the tribe descendants was so touching. Thank you again.

Thank you for saying this. I just watched this video (a year after you) and found myself getting emotional too. I wondered, is it just me? But your comment assures me that no, it's something about this language and culture that touches the heart.

As a Potawatomi myself, I really appreciate this video! I'd like to add a little something about names. Many Native cultures belive that our names connect us spiritually. To each other and the spirit world. For the Potawatomi, knowing your *true* name is very important. Your true name is how the Creator will know you. I would explain more, but this could honestly be an essay, and I'm too tired for that lol. With that in mind though, my true name is Mkete'mko(Black Bear). It kinda sounds like Muh-kett-uh M-Koh. The m is *almost* silent.

@Smoken it depends on your location, but you need to find the closest band and speak with your elders. To receive a name, you need to be sponsored by two adults in the tribe. One man and one woman(for CPN). Then, you go through the naming ceremony. Again, you need to speak with your elders to get more information on how to proceed. Good luck to you, I hope all goes well!

I figured that Chicago meant "skunk place" from Ojibwa, an Algonkian language closely related to Potawatomi.

Chicago is the place of the smelly onions. Or the place that of skunk smell.

@@mangolanguages thank you so much for doing this! I grew up far away from any other Potawatomi so learning all this has been wonderful and you teaching people the language is amazing. I never would have dreamed I'd be able to learn the language my forefathers spoke
