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.
