Pala Life: Past and Present
In this show I look at the song “Chemesh Ataxem Kuupangax”. I point out words to listen for in the song. The words are; ekulyi (little), Ekukulyi (little, plural), kikitem (boys), nishmalim (girls), nu’push (eyes), ni’pushlyu (to look at us), naq’a (ear), ans also ne’naq’ma (to hear us). The song is performed by Paul Miranda. There is an interview with Cindy Sullivan, nee Allen. She talks about being a Native American female in the military for 20 years.
