“The white language
doesn’t go deep enough.”

— Charlie “Red Hawk” Thom, Karuk

Charlie “Red Hawk” Thom is a medicine man and ceremonial leader. He says that English goes in one ear and out the other: it never touches the heart. Karuk, he says, begins in the heart and moves to the mind. To say you love something, you say ick-ship-eee-mihni. “This is serious,” he says. “If you tell a woman eee-mihni then, well, you’d better be ready to marry her.”
