Audio file
Description

In this clip, C. Huffman, Kaw Nation citizen, talks about Kaw connection to land and what It means to return home.

Transcript

“…We inhabit the land there. We belong to it. Our ancestors are buried there. You know, there's a word in our language. It's “shokhíbe”. It means to return to one's home. I mean, two syllables, right “shokhíbe” and it means to return to one's home. So, there's so much when we talk about land and belonging, you know, that we've only begun to scratch the surface.”
