We're moving of sorts, research iTunes ina day or two you should see a second version of this Podcast. I've begun doing my OWN RSS manually with a text editor, pretty simple. Why, iTunes now has the Lyrics tab in the Get info area so I can put the Owenna'son'a there henceforth so you only need to visit one place to get the Audio AND Owenna'son'a(Words) instead of coming here to see the Word list and Downloading the Audio in iTunes. Check it out at

It lives - ken:teron
It is big - kakowa:nen
It is small - ken'niwa'a

Sorry all you iPod owners, haven't had a chance to convert this to an iPod Video friendly version as yet. Watch in mPlayer or Windows Media Player. If on a Mac try
Flip4Mac, software that lets you play and convert WMP videos and Audio in Quicktime.

Mac folks, if you chop up my Podcasts into individual Words/Phrases and place in your Speakable items folder, turn Speech Recognition on, Plug in a Mic(Built in Mics not so great for Speech Recognition) then speak the name of one of the MP3's you just saved in there, Voila, your Mac will REPLY in Kanien'keha. I suggest you Download Microcosm's FREEWARE audio player, Sound Player for this, as it doesn't require hitting Play, iTunes will do it too BTW but with it's interface onscreen , play sound has no interface to show so it's a CLEANER look ;-)

ALSO if you join Kahonwes's Mohawk-Language list on Yahoogroups in the File section there is a bunch of MP3's of Kanien'keha I did when fooling with the AliceBot software so you'll have a fair library of audio to play withj. You may need to adjust the naming of some to help the Speech Recognition a bit but not too bad eh?

Enjoy!
