July/August 2022

before we bring this meeting to order

we want to acknowledge ourselves, the Kaktoviġmiut

yes, Siliun, this is how they are doing things nowadays

                  we are doing it right...

Tóyisdzáán shimá dishníigo

Nahasdzáán shimá dishníigo

Ni’ bitł’ááhdęę hasísná

Nahasdzáán shimá bijé...

I celebrate myself

And what I hereby cede you shall hereby cede,

For the country relinquished by me as good is relinquished by you

...
