Bingo ... Kinda,
It's a kinda basterdized Cheyenne / Lakota mix that my grand father spoke.
While I was sitting around recovering from this latest atempt at self destruction I had a lot of time to think ... I dug around and found an old book my Grand father and my father made for me back when they were trying to teach me the ways of the "Sahiyela"

"Tiwahe" (dee-wah-hay) = Family, good friends or a sence of Family
"Otakuyaya" (ohda-kue-yah-yah) Brotherhood (in many forms)
"Yuoniha" (yo-nee-hah) Honor,
"Mitiblo-ki" (mee-ty-blo-kee) a person not related to you whom you call "Brother"
"Yahante-heh" (Yanta-hey) A greeting or see you again. there is no word gor good bye. this term like the sign is common to many tribes.

It's been good going through all this old stuff from my Grand father and father and taking stock of who I am and who they wanted me to be.
And I found these were good words for this place and the people here.

Thanks for sharing this, Mitiblo-ki! I am guessing a lot of us could learn a lot from the Native American way of treating each other and our surroundings.

:tu

Had no clue on the interpretation from Stitch's post.

I caught Tom's right away. :)

I'm really not sure how "Accurate" some of the stuff is, My Grand father was not the worlds most literate man, He could barely read and write.
Most of the language stuff is pronunciation, with some "Written English" spelling next to it .... I have no idea why the two are so different.
I went to the Res. up in Montana twice with my father when I was young, But he died when I was 17 and I've not been back there since.
It's just kinda neat to find this and look back.

Hmmm, "Hopa" is Beauty (or Beautiful, thing of Beauty) "Ciye" I have no idea.
One which I still use now and then is "doh kay shkay" ... Kind of a universal "WTF" :D
Makes people wonder what planet your from.

If I did it right. I should read Beautiful, older brother.

ok ... hoh pah chee yea ... I think that is "True" Lakota.
"Ciye" would probbably be the Anglo spelling ???

It may be. My resources is limited as well. I have not been exposed to in it 15 years. Lived in AZ for 17 years.

yep, me to, All I have are these books and stuff from my Dad, He Rarely spoke it, and I never really learned to complete a sentence ....
Hell it's all I can do to complete one in English :D

Enjoyed reading this Stitch.
