I was listening to visiting an elder part 1. The words all scrambled together the first time I watched the video, the next time I listened I heard Boozhoo, Miigwech, Asemaa, Gego, Giga-waabamin. I heard other words of course but these are the ones that stuck out because I am familiar with these words. I was trying to figure out the conversation without looking at the words by observing the two womens' actions and facial expressions. Oh course you could tell there was pleasantries being exchanges by their smiles and welcoming behavior.

Today I was looking at the Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe and discovered that I was spelling Miigwech wrong this whole time spelling it like this Miiwetch. (Embarrassing )!!

The random question I chose is interesting, because I have been hearing that very same question all over lately. Personally it is rare for there to be words in my dreams. When there are words it is always English, though. My dreams are always pictures hard to decipher.
Everyone is different though.
