Henlo… as we say in my rez

Introduce Yourself
1

You may have noticed me around and I’d say a proper introduction is due.

I’m just some FN (First Nations) person that’s finally gotten on the toy bandwagon, and look forward to interacting with other like minded individuals :smiling_face:.

Gender: trans woman, sexuality: bi attracted demi-sexual… I would use the term two-spirit, but since that’s held as sacred to other native tribes and I don’t know what it is I’m supposed to be doing, I don’t use it out of respect.

Almost. Though we’ve stepped away and started correcting that usage quite a bit ago. Native American, Indigenous, First Nations, or if you wanna be a bit more specific about it… you can use the collective name. like how the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi use Anishinaabe.

In my case, I belong to all the bands that make up the Anisininew group (formally Oji-Cree).

fun fact, my username “Atteh-mah” comes from our language, and it’s provocative; it’s something you’d say during a hot moment (it’s like saying “stop it” but you don’t want them to actually stop).

Just to be clear, “Henlo” is just young child speak. Like how P’s become B’s, and that becomes dat.

The way we actually say hello is: Tan-Say Tug-Guy!…. Oops wrong language that’s Cree; the way we say hello is: Boo-Shoo Wee-Nug!

Both mean the same thing though they’re translated as: how’s it going dickhead, and ours is straight up: hello penis.
