I'm going to tell you something. Nih'iisi'o'oonoo neinoo noh neisonoo. I grew up with my mother and father. Nih'iisheenei'towunei'ee3i' nuhu' heeteenebetiit. They used to tell us about respect. Hoowee'inowuu nuhu'uunoh tei'yooonoh'o' wonoonii'oo3i'. The younger generations don't know about it. Nee3ee no'o3oo' tohcei'inou'u. It's real bad that they don't know. Nuhu'uunoh heeteenebetiit tenei'oo'. This respect is strong. Nehe' neinoo nico'onei'towunei'eet, hinee heeseh'inoo ciibeh'iicoo'obe'! My mother always told us, those are your older brothers, don't tease them! Besiihi' heteenetiit heetniico'oni'oo'. Whatever you say will always be good. Heetenebe'. Respect them. Niico'onii3eino' neinoo noh ne' nih'iisi'i'ooni' My mother always told us, and that's how we grew up. Nih'e'nowuni', wo'ei3 hiih'oowuu nuhu'uunoh. We knew it, and we didn't do things that way. Heteenetiitonin niico'onbesni'oo'. Our language was always good. 'oh woow nuhu'uuno wonoonii'oo3i' hoowee'enowuu. But now these younger people don't know. Neisieho' nico'nei'towunou'u: Heeteenebeti'. I always tell my grandchildren: Respect yourselves. Niico'on ne'eesinihii3ou'u. I always tell them that. Nee3eeno'o3oo'. It's really tough. Wo'ei3 nuhu'uunoh nebeih'eiheb neinoo hiih'oowuu3o'eeneti3ee. Or my husband never talked to my mother. Hih'oowuu3o'eeneti3ee tih'iitesee'ino'. He didn't talk to her since he knew that [restriction] well. No3oon neneeninoo nih'ei'towuno' nebeih'eiheb. Instead I told my husband. Noh nuhu'uunoh neinoo niibeetei'towuuno' neneeninoo niicowo3itoono' nebeih'eiheb. And I wanted to tell my mother, that I was the one who would translate to my husband. Noh hoowoohnee'eesoo. And these days it's not like that. Hoowoohnee'eesoo, nuhu' woonii'oo3i' nooxeihi' hoowei'towuuneihino'. These days it's not like that, maybe these younger people aren't being told. Noh heetneyeihniiteheiwoono' nuhu'uunoh wonoonii'oo3i' heetneh'eeneixoohoo3ihoono' hini' nih'iisiine'tiino' teecxo'. And we are going to try to help the younger ones, try to show them the way we lived long ago. Noh heetne'tei'oo' hiine'etiit. And life will be strong again. Niico'onee'eesinihiinoo. I always say this. Wo'ei3 nuhu'uunoh tih'iibeebetoootiini' nih'iiyixohei'ee3i' neinoo noh neisonoo. Or when there used to be dances, my mother and father would bring us. Noh nih'ei'towuunei'ee3i' heetnei'okunee, ceebeh'iikohei'i' And they told us: sit tight, don't ever get up. Hesookuu'oo', niico'on nee'eesinihii3ei'ee3i'. Watch carefully, they always told us that. Ceebeh'iinihi'koohu'!, niico'on nee'eesinihii3ei'ee3i'. Don't run around!, they always told us that. cf. verbs with hiinih- 'around,about' 'oh nih'iikoheini', nih'iinkoehtini'. But we'd get up [anyway], we'd chase each other around. 'oh neniteeno' nih'ii'eeneti3ei'ee3i' wo'ei3 nih'iinih'ouutowoo3i': wonce'ceenoku'! woneesookuu'oo'! But people would talk to us or correct us: go sit down! go look on! Noh nih'iiceh'e3iti'. And we'd listen. Niice'wonceenokuno'. We'd go sit back down. Nih'eeteenowoono'. We respected them. 'oh hoownee'eesoo. But it's not like that [now]. Tei'yoonoh'o' kookon nee3eehohookeeni3i'. Kids just act crazy for no reason. Hiihooweesooku'oono' nuhu'uunoh betoot, kookon niinoo3eti3i'. They don't look on at a dance, they leave each other behind. Nee3eeno'o3oo'. It's tough. Wo'ei3 nenitee niinih'ouuwoot, wo'ei3 niibeetheenei'towuunoot, Or a person scolds [the kid], or wants to tell them something, noh niiwonei'towunoo3i' hiinoon noh hiniisonoonino, noh ne'nii'eesnonee3i'. and [the kid] goes to tell the mother and father, and that's when they get mad. Neesiniheihi3i' neniteeno'. People get angry. Niibeetniiteheiwoo3i' tei'yoonoh'o' niibeet heeneixoohoo3hoo3i' tei'yoonoh'o'. They want to take up for the kids, they want to show the kids. 'oh siihoownee'eesoo. And it's definitely not that way. Woow hiiyohou'o'oo' nih'iisiisi'i'ooni'. Now the way we grew up is gone. Noh niibeet niiteheibee3i' nuhu'uunoh tei'yoonoh'o' heetihce'iintou', heetih'ei'nou'u. And we want to help these children, so [respect] will be here again, so they'll know again. Wo'ei3 nuhu'uunoh tei'yoonoh'o' heetneyei3ei3i' hiihooweetenebetino', hiihooweetenebetino'. Or those kids, where they go to school they don't respect each other. Noh heetihce'ei'nou'u nuhu'uunoh heetnei'nou'u nenee3i' nee3ebeebeetou3ei3i'. And they will know agin, and those who do know are the ones who finish school. Nuhu'uunoh niiceh'e3itii3i', nuhu'uunoh nenii3inou'u nuhu' heeteenebetiit. The ones that listen, they're the ones that have respect. Hini' hei'nou'u nenee3i' nee3ebeebeetou3ei3i' nei'nou'u. The ones that finish school, they're the ones that know. Noh heetihbesce'nee'eesoo' heetihce'besniiteheiwoono' hotei'yooniibino, So that it will be like that again, so that we can help our kids get back, kookou'nei hee3ebnee'eesinhiinoo heetihce'iintou'. I'm pleading so that it will come back. End of 13_7
