ROFFEKE: How would you say, "Friendship, Fun, Freedom" in any one of the Native American languages you used in your screenplay? (Or in all 4 of the languages!)
LISTENING RAVEN:"Friendship, Fun, Freedom" Few things are more important in any language. GREAT QUESTION, Mildred!
If every person on Mother Earth would take time to meditate on those three words for one minute a day, there would be more peace. They certainly made me feel better.
These are some Shawnee translations:
Friend ---- Kaana
Pronunciation: (kaah-nah)
Also means "friendship" since it also stands for "Stem" as in beginning
The English word/term for "Fun" in Shawnee would be associated with the term:
Pleasure, as in, we derive pleasure in something:
Nikilakatena
Pronounced: nee-wah-wo-chee-kee-lah-kee-thee-pay
Free, he/she is
Free ---Hotepeleta
Pronunciation: Ho-tay-pay-lay-tah
