Quotes by LeAnne Howe (?)

“Before I continue with the scholarly account of tribalography, I want to tell you a Choctaw story. My tribe鈥檚 language has a mysterious prefix that, when combined with other words, represents a form of creation. It is nuk or nok, and it has to do with the power of speech, breath, and mind. Things with nok or nuk attached to them are so powerful they create. For instance, nukfokechi brings forth knowledge and inspiration. A teacher is a nukfoki, the beginning of action.”
― LeAnne Howe, Choctalking on Other Realities
