Last night in the Zoom Meeting there was a request to cover “family.” In Klamath family is a vast work. We are starting to get comfortable making sentences and should not deviate from that. But we can incorporate the names of family members into the sentences we are making.
pkolip=mother’s mother=maternal grandmother
pkasap=mother’s father=maternal grandfather
pkisap=mother
ptisap-father
bloksip=father’s father=paternal grandfather
ptewip=father’s mother
nocna=passed, gone to the ancestral home in the West
noli=set=used with the sun. So, the sentence is: sabas noli. The sun is setting.
nolis is the human spirit after death.
nolisgeni=the Spirit Land
The way to say I have _______. ni ____ gi. In the blank put the relationship that you have. I spoke to _________. Put the family relationship in the blank.
ni gaw____ hemkanga.
I spoke with my _________. Put the family relationship in the blank.

Please make these sentences and share them with your family in your family language sessions. Then share them in our Zoom Meeting next Wednesday.
