Native Tongues Game

**Grits & Beans** · 04-21-2003, 03:58 PM

I just got this idea for a new game. Basically you post a word or phrase from a native language that starts with the last letter of the last word posted.

To make it educational, I suggest including the language and english translation in your posts!:p

For example:

akicita (warrior in Lakota)

Get it? Well let's have some fun with this one:)

I'll start-

hau (hello in Lakota)

unci (grandmother in Lakota)

**Grits & Beans** · 04-21-2003, 05:29 PM

ikwe (woman in Ojibwe)
