Blackfoot greeting

Comments Off on Blackfoot greeting

Here is a greeting in the Blackfoot language:

Kisu'taku! (pronounced "kee-soo-tah-koo")

Translated to English, this means: "Peace upon you!"

The Blackfoot language self-name is ᑯᖾᖹ (kainai) or ᓱᖽᐧᖿ (piikuni), which refers to the Kainai and Piikani tribes that speak the language.

Fun fact: Although only a few fluent speakers remain, efforts are being made to revitalize the Blackfoot language through immersion schools and cultural programs.
