Halito! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured it was worth a shot.
For the past several years, I have been trying to reconnect with my Choctaw heritage. One of the ways I’m trying to honor that is by learning the language, though I seem to be running into limited resources on what common terms of endearment in the language would be if there are any.
I want to be able to call my partner and my son things like my love, my dear, darling, baby, pumpkin (since my partner adores Halloween), and/or similar terms like these.
I’ve already looked at the Choctaw dictionary on the Choctaw Nation’s website, but am still feeling lost. Any guidance on terms of endearment I could use would be greatly appreciated! Yakoke! <3
Looking for two spirit tribal members, especially elders to help me with my education about our history and culture. Sadly most of my Choctaw family, I have very little connection with because they are not accepting of me being trans and queer.
Also small language question, but looking for the Chahta word for duck.
