 That's what m'kh'jin means. My kids, everything. Your opinion, how important is it for Shushua people to learn the language, to know who they are, where they belong, and this place is there forever. Regardless of standing, whatever other people say, it belongs, you belong here. This is your place, your land, and it doesn't mean to let others come in, intruders, or whatever you call them, to come in and tell you what to do with it. That's what's happening today. This land is ours, that's it, and we'll plan to do whatever is good for our land. Like years ago, we used to plant and do our own, whatever was given to us by... I'm Mona Jules. I'm originally from Skitchiston, but I now live up in the Simh Territory up in the North Thompson. By looking at images and telling a story of the uses of certain implements, for instance, you could have the actual tools. As you're telling a story about the tanning of hides, this would be a good area that you'd be able to relay the importance of animal hides being used for clothing, for instance, because if you're telling children, you're slaying the animal and then taking their hide, they might think it's not nice. But if they see the different types of clothing that are made, the different type of tools that the animal provided, it didn't go to waste. None of it was thrown away. Storytelling, to me, brings back the warm atmosphere that I felt around my grandparents. The glow that I felt as I sat and listened to them, telling the stories, and just visualizing what they were telling me. I would sit there with a ready smile while my cousins laughed and screamed at the hilarity of the stories. So those things, I remember, it still echoes in my mind when I think back to the stories, the living stories that we had as I grew up. Yes, storytelling was very special. They would tell about anything that they thought would be interesting to the people. They also carried out special council meetings at every gathering. They would have surrounding communities as well as Sokotnik people. And they would come in their best clothes when they went to gatherings.
