She was a little lady, a bit less than five feet tall, had a sharp wit and wise to the ways of the day. She was neat as a pin and an excellent cook. When she checked the kettles, she stood on a special box or stand to see what was going on in the pot. May Burton was a tiny girl when Colonel and Mrs. Stephen Whipple went to see prisoners at Fort Humboldt. In the compound were a number of Indians, including the massacre’s survivor.

Cultural From the Ground Up...Language

Hiya koqu’mat yo? (Did you know it?) by Lynnika Butler, Language Mgr.

Wiyot is very different from English and other more familiar languages in the way that words and sen- tences are made. We often think of a language as being like a list of names for things (nouns), connected by adjectives (which describe things--‘blue’, ‘loud’, etc.) and verbs (which express activities or processes--‘jump’, ‘freeze’, etc.). In Wiyot, though, verbs are the building blocks of the language. Most nouns, adjectives, and other words are made from verbs, and often a single Wiyot verb form can express the meaning of an entire sentence. Many Wiyot animal names illustrate this quality: lhowepalukilh ‘rabbit’ = literally, ‘it has tall ears’ • lhow ‘be tall’ + paluk ‘ear’ + -ilh ‘it’ tsukalhoyaganarag ‘weasel’ = ‘it is yellow on the chest’ • tsukalh ‘be yellow’ + oyagan ‘upper chest’ tánashoshwilh ‘gopher’ = ‘he makes a pile of dirt’ búchbi ‘skunk’ = ‘it stinks behind’ lhimoyusa’la ‘bluejay’ = ‘it [crest] stands up edgewise’ Shunod to’luyit! (Let’s talk!) ======Language committee I would like to invite interested members to meet with me on Monday, Nov. 24 at 5 p.m. (before the Tribal Council meeting) to discuss the orthography developed last spring with Bill Weigel. I would also like to hear your ideas for future language activities! If you are interested in learning Wiyot, please fill out this form and leave it for me at the Cen- ter: Language learning questionnaire Which of the items below would you or your family be interested in using to learn Wiyot? ___A printed dictionary ___An interactive digital dictionary ___A Wiyot language textbook ___Language-learning audio CD’s ___Computer-based lessons and games ___Written exercises and games ___Web-based materials ___Other: If you are interested in attending future language classes, please fill in: Your name and contact info: Available days and times: Thank you! --Lynnika Volume 11, 08 Page 7

Vocabulary Mini-Lesson: Wiyot Color Verbs

Like so much of Wiyot vocabulary, the words for colors in Wiyot are all verbs! That means that you can say ‘it is blue’, but there is no word that simply means ‘blue’ as in English. Here are the color verbs I have found:

sisw = be black paluyaw = be white sog = be red

tukalh = be yellow tukaplh = be green / be blue phowalow = be all colors

It may seem strange that the same word means both green and blue, but this is actually quite common among languages (Japanese is another language that does this). It is also not unusual for a language not to have spe- cific words for colors like orange, purple, or pink. Those ‘secondary’ colors might be described as shades of red, yellow, blue, etc., or by comparing the color to something that occurs in the natural world (such as ‘ash- colored’ for gray).

These verbs would normally not stand alone as words; they would be put together with other building blocks to make complex Wiyot words and sentences. Here is an example with the verb meaning ‘be black’: siswapti'la = sisw + -apt + -i'la = crow be black furry one

The word siswapti’la is used for ‘crow’, but if you look at the parts you can see that it actually just means ‘one that is black and furry’. So siswapti’la could also be used to talk about a black cat, a black dog, or any- thing else that fits the description. How would you make Wiyot words to talk about furry (or feathered) things of other colors?

1. apti’la = blue/green furry one 2. apti’la = red furry one

3. apti’la = yellow furry one 4. apti’la = white furry one 5. apti’la = many-colored furry one
