Chikazwen – Toy

Chikazwenen – Toys

Ode chikazwen – This toy

I chikazwen – That toy

Éi chikazwen – That toy over there

Node chikazwenen – These toys

Ni chikazwenen – Those toys

Éni chikazwenen – Those toys over there

Ni pi je i chikazwen – Where is that toy?

Ni pi je ni chikazwenen – Where are those toys?

I was born on Powers Bluff in Wood County, Wisconsin, into a traditional community of Neshnabek. I was raised speaking only native languages, and learned to speak English upon entering school at the age of 6. As of this writing, I am one of 5 remaining Heritage Fluent Speakers of Potawatomi.
