Forest Evenki Are Much Like Us & The Related Khamnigan With The According Solidarity Needing To Be Brought

Restoring reindeer herd for Siberia’s last nomads
Give hope to an Evenki family in Siberia and save their tribe's future | Check out 'Restoring reindeer herd for Siberia’s last nomads' on Indiegogo.

Forest Evenki are much like us & the related Khamnigan with the according solidarity needing to be brought forth. This won’t be possible without the push for climate change recognition, or some merchandise from the Dukha nearby, who live similarly. With the amount of animal husbandry found among the Karahto Ainu, this form of herding might well have occurred in the culture, distinct from the Hokkaido Ainu life. May the Evenki kinds live strong.

Feather Flu - ATG Day 20
Thunderlane's suffering from the feather flu, and it's up to Rumble to take care of him! However, if your older brother is running a temperature on par with a skillet and is too feverish to make yo...

Tan henne=askar eaykap, wa tan pinumma=siyeye ne, korkay iwanke ne nankor. Korkay sumsupa nok, opitta kur ya?

(This can’t be clean, and this stallion is sick, but will get healthy. Even so, fried eggs, anyone?) Poor Thunderlane, I hope he would be healthy soon, I bet the flu season was terrible this year, especially in the West from what I’ve heard. I’m glad I dodged this bullet, as has my editor (mostly).

To clarify, the posts I put up here involving the culture and/or the language usage never come without a purpose or translations below (especially in the latter case). I may use the tongue in occasional posts & even in the hashtags combined with other elements, but it remains in conscious efforts to help others learn about the culture & history as well hopefully to reach out to the titular people & others regardless to better understand the cultures through time & space. Any hashtags you see here in the language will of course include a translation in similar hopes of reaching out. Iyayraykere.

Outsiders are not not saving a language by learning it.

While I’m personally grateful services like Tribalingual exist, creating some academic access to Indigenous languages, particularly for Indigenous diaspora (if they can afford it), I’m extremely dubious of the notion that a outsiders learning an Indigenous language is somehow “saving” it. There was a testimonial from some white American girl learning Ainu itak, and she spoke of it as if she were collecting some rare Pokemon card before it went out of print or something, framing it in typical dying Native rhetoric. What is she going to do with Ainu itak, except as some obscure lingual trophy?

If you want to save a language, save the people.

Language means nothing without history and culture breathing life into it, and in turn we are disconnected from our history and ancestors without it. Support Indigenous quality of life, ACCESS to quality education, quality health services (mental and physical), land and subsistence rights, CLEAN DRINKING WATER, advocate against police brutality and state violence, DEMAND ACTION FOR MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN.

Damn, if you really want to “save the language” pay for an Indigenous person’s classes for them to reconnect to their mother tongues. I’m not saying outsiders shouldn’t learn languages they’re invited to learn, but don’t pretend like you learning conversational Ainu itak is saving it from extinction.

Supernatural Creatures of Korean Mythology
A while ago, I was riding around Sowol-gil on the slope of Namsan when I stumbled across what appeared to be a museum on mythical Korean mon...

Naa rayosi kamuy yukar cikoykip arki.

(More Korean mythological creatures come). I hope this should help familiarise us with some beneath the deities in the pantheon.

This flag is the unofficial flag of our main people here, designed in 1973 by the famous figure of Bikki Sunazawa in the ratio of 2:3. As strange as the white here looks (even rather like a squid), it symbolizes snow, the red the arrow & aconite poison used in hunting, & the blue the sea & sky. All this under the traditional Yaunsir (now Aynu Mosir in Sisamsir, Karapto wa Kurir sin rit in Nucasir), it is used mainly in Aynu Mosir in certain settings.

Eating Seal Meat Is a Vital Part of Life in My Community
Many people opposed to seal hunting don't understand that kids in indigenous communities are hungry, and it's painful to see that. It's ridiculous that other cultures are welcome to survive off of our natural resources, but we're not.

Before anyone here loses their minds regarding the seals, please read this to know the perspective, and check out the video inside. This touches on important issues facing many of my editor’s kinds among his Native ethnicities. Especially for the Inuits & the high costs of groceries combined with inflation, I can’t help but see parallels to food importation costs in my own homelands.  The video of the caribou toward the end looks sonno keraan (truly tasty).
