Good day, my relatives! It’s good to see you. With a good heart I greet you. They call me Kimími. My grandma is Santee (Shooters Among the Leaves and Dwellers of Spirit Lake) and my grandpa is German-American. Take care of yourselves! 🧡

#introduction #dakhotaiapi #dakhota

So I have seen the name of my home state in Dakhóta written as both “Mní Sota Makhóče” and “Mni Sóta Makoce”. I understand that there are different ways of writing the language, but is this a pretty minor hurdle? Like once you know some of the language is it not confusing anymore? #dakhota #dakhotaiyapi

Indigenize ACNH by making your villagers speak your language! :blobcataww:

Aŋpétu wašté mitákuye!
(Good day my relative!)
