1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:08,400
Naason kaahalaik chasobaiko̱, katik, saamostik naathiikala̱.
I don’t know what to say, but I will talk a little bit.
2
00:00:08,400 –> 00:00:12,862
Himaak chachokkiiboosit ontiliifookap,
When I was little and growing up,
3
00:00:12,862 –> 00:00:19,024
naho yaamii, ipthoot, chokfoot, koyaami maththon wihlilihchoolik.
I only hunted squirrels and rabbits.
4
00:00:19,024 –> 00:00:21,399
Icho yaamiip wihtakkomahcho̱.
I have never hunted deer.
5
00:00:21,399 –> 00:00:24,149
Bihosimook thaki chaffaakan naahohchok ommin,
There was only one gun,
6
00:00:24,149 –> 00:00:28,308
maththon naahotilkahchok ommok, ittootamahkat
that was the only one we used,
7
00:00:28,308 –> 00:00:30,224
stilinaawihhilihchok ommin.
and we would take turns hunting with it.
8
00:00:30,224 –> 00:00:32,498
Maan, ifa̱ ilapihlit staayat naaholiik.
I would take the dogs with me.
9
00:00:32,498 –> 00:00:37,902
Iptho yaamiip iibiliinannahchoolik.
I would always kill the squirrels.
10
00:00:37,902 –> 00:00:43,084
Kaamiifookok, ipthot wih[li]t aththalaip ammaama̱ immankalihchoolik,
Then when I was fixing to go hunt squirrels, I would tell my mom,
11
00:00:43,084 –> 00:00:48,251
“Ittahobaachi̱. Stiilaliifookon, libaatchiip ilpaahiskan” kaahaliifookok,
“Get ready. When I bring it back, you can cook it so we can eat .” Saying that,
12
00:00:48,251 –> 00:00:52,419
aththaliik, ilinaawihlit aayat naaholit,
I’d go hunt
13
00:00:52,419 –> 00:00:55,122
toklohchoot, sahmiip totchiinahchoot iibiliip,
and kill two or three,
14
00:00:55,122 –> 00:00:59,345
maamoosin maan mas-waliikalihchoolik ittohayo̱ aayalitik.
and run back with them all the way from the woods.
15
00:00:59,345 –> 00:01:01,372
Kaamiikok iilaliip, iitinkaliip,
Then when I brought them to her,
16
00:01:01,372 –> 00:01:08,053
maamoosin maan nahookok, ohya̱ sopattanooliik, libatliifookon, ilpahcho̱.
she would clean them and cook them and we would eat it.
17
00:01:08,053 –> 00:01:12,081
Kamiichilkaanannahchommin, sahmiip, mok
We would do that all the time and she would say,
18
00:01:12,081 –> 00:01:15,092
“Chinchayimmiimootooli̱” kaahahchoolik,
“I must have really believed in you”
19
00:01:15,092 –> 00:01:20,345
naho̱, “Ibaimaththok ommo̱” aalolihchok kaahaafookok.
or “I believed that you would kill it.”
20
00:01:20,345 –> 00:01:25,207
“Akbohchoot iilaliitoop saamaitooli̱,” aalolihchook.
I wonder, “What would have happened if I came back without killing one?”
