The Ponca Language Have you found yourself wanting to learn our language, but just didn’t really know where to start or were slightly overwhelmed? This month I will go over some different ways to approach your learning and answer some frequently asked questions. -Angie Starkel Q: I want to learn how to speak Ponca, but I don’t know where to start. A: There is no “right” way to start, but the most important thing is speak every day. Start with words you use every day (“Are you hungry?”) or start with something that’s of interest to you, or start with basic terms like numbers and colors. To be successful in learning and retaining our language, you need to hear it everyday. You can access recordings by requesting CDs or USB drives from the Culture Department (402-857-3519), visiting the Ponca Tribe media website (https:// poncatribe-ne.tv/category/language/), as well as downloading the Omaha language apps (“Omaha Basic” and “Omaha Vocab Builder”). Q: Wait, why did you refer to apps of the Omaha language in the previous answer? Is the Ponca and Omaha language that similar? A: Ponca and Omaha are the same language with some variations from each other, in particular more modern terms. A fluent speaker of Omaha would be able to understand a fluent Ponca speaker and vice versa. We, Ponca, and the Omaha, who were once together as one people, separated approximately 300 years ago. That time apart has developed the minor differences known today. So, learning from both Ponca and Omaha language recourses are very important to be able to keep our language alive. Q: I heard that men always end their words with the “oh” sound and win woman end theirs words in the “ah” sound? I also heard only men say aho. Is that true? A: Men and women do have some differences in how they speak. These mostly deal with commands or accentuating a statement. In your specific example, only men say “aho” or add “ho” at the end of words or sentences. Men do say sounds that end in the “ah” or nasally “ah” sound. For example, to say “I thank you”, wibthahon, which is pronounced as wi-btha-ha, both men and women say the same word. The end of the word is a nasal o sound like “aw” in the word “dawn”. However, men can add “ho” at the end of the word as an emphasis, for example: wibthahon-ho, said as “ha-ho” at the end. A: There are several resources in print available from our Culture Department (402-857-3519) as well as books available for check out from our libraries (https://ptn.libib.com) in each of our office sites. The books include: Q: Angie, I have heard you say Ponca words in the Council meetings? What do they mean? 500+ Verbs in UmoNhoN (Omaha) Alice Saunsoci & Ardis Eschenberg A: The Ponca words I say in the Council meetings is one way to help bring our Ponca language back to everyday use, to get other Ponca members exposed to hearing the language, and hopefully other Ponca members will start speaking Ponca too. The main words I use are as follows: athí: I am here áon: yes égon: yes, I agree onkazhi: no shenon: that’s the end (as in I’m done speaking about something) Dictionary of the Ponca People Louis Headman & Sean O’Neill Let’s Speak UmoNhoN!

Created in 2018, Global Recycle day aims to recognize the importance that recycling has for our resources. Do you know how much energy and resources can be saved by recycling certain materials? Take plastics materials for example. By recycling 1 ton of plastic materials, we can save around 5,774 kWh of energy. That is enough energy to power a single household in Nebraska for almost 6 months. Recycling 1 ton of paper can save on average 4,100 kWh of energy, which is enough energy to power a single household for 4 months. If you flip the 4,100 kWh of energy into gasoline, that is 326 gallons of gas that are not being consumed and keeping about 2.9 metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Here are some things you can do to help recycle in your area. accept them.
