Doodemag - Clans
Animals, Actions, and Attributes


Aanii,

As mentioned in the previous post, the students spent the month of January learning about clan animals and some of the actions that they do. (Flying, howling, etc.). During story-telling, the students heard about the teachings/gifts, attributes of the animals (large, has feathers, etc.) 

The students learned 16 clan animals and here are the remaining 8 (see previous post for first 8 clan animals): 

Animals: 
Mooz - moose
Amik - beaver
Waaszii - catfish
Ngig - otter
Mahiingan - wolf 
Biipiigiiwzens - sparrow hawk (American Kestrel)
Mshiikenh - snapping turtle 
Waabooz - rabbit 
Verbs:
Bmiptoo - s/he is running 
Wiisni - s/he is eating 
Bgizo - s/he is swimming 
Zhooshkjiwe - s/he is sliding
Waawoona - s/he is howling 
Gzike - s/he is taking off (flight) 
Bbamoode - s/he is crawling 
Mbigwaashkni - s/he is jumping
Once again, students are also being taught different variations of the verbs, such as:

Ngig zhooshkjiwe / Kwezenhs zhooshkjiwe / Zhooshkjiwen
(The otter is sliding) / (The girl is sliding / (Sliding command)
Mii go genii zshooshkiweyaanh. 
(I too am sliding) 

Teacher states: "Child's Name, zhooshkiwen dbishkoo ngig." ("Child's Name, slide like the otter) 
The child then does the action / pretends to do the action.

Another example: 
"Child's Name, waawoonan dbishkoo mahiingan" (Child's Name, howl like the wolf)
