Native America Calling: Native words to live by
Tuesday, November 24, 2020
In Native languages, some of our favorite words and phrases pack much more meaning than any English translation can encompass. As one example, the Navajo word “hózhó” refers to a way of life; balance, harmony and order.
As the country marks Native American Heritage Month and 30 years of the Native American Languages Act, ensuring tribes’ use of their languages without any government interference, Native America Calling honor the importance of language and celebrate with some of the most notable words and phrases.
