I love this, I am Mescalero and this helps me a lot. I see other Native languages coming out on apps, why not Mescalero Apache? You can teach and also make money doing it. I would buy it and gladly support you.
It cannot be overemphasized that it is truly impossible to GET / understand / FEEL a culture without learning it's language. Endeavoring to learn a language is always a great thing. Even if you are not native in ancestory, learning language greatly fosters understanding of a culture. Beginning in my early 30s, I began studying Japanese, for no other reason than I simply felt compelled to do so. I felt some kind of connection that I couldn't explain but I just went with the flow. I did this all on my own. Today, I am not 100% fluent, but I can converse reasonably and can read & write (very slowly and with great effort!). I cannot begin to tell you all how much effect it's had on my life. I am very interested in learning some Apache dialect (again, I don't know exactly "why" I feel compelled to do so - I just feel it somehow). If anyone can point me to some good resources (especially AUDIO!), I would greatly appreciate it! PEACE and LOVE to all of you!
My grandmother was Mexican nahuatle Indian. But she would tell me never to forget that we have Apache family. I've had a hard time pursuing and learning about my family but I would love to atleast learn the language for my kids sake and their future. Thank you.
I'm Chiricahua Apache and would love learn my peoples language, thank you for this video. The only thing that baffles me though is Navajo is on Rosetta Stone now(which is awesome)so why not other Native languages? It could be the chance to reclaim our ancestral identity and rebuild our culture for many generations to come.
Raven Zosaries you could be the first to make that for The Mescalero, Chiricahua and other apaches. Asking and watching other tribes programs could stimulate Ideas. Like how the Kewa Pueblo and Walatowa Pueblo have their kids speak only the language in class.
Frank Garavito the Apaches and Navajos speak the Southern Athabaskan language. Now the Navajo is one big tribe. Their are many Apaches they all don’t speak the same. Different dialects and cultural terms. The sentence structure is the same but different words or similar words for something. They way Mescalero say their numbers may be different from the Jicarilla or from the White Mt. Apaches.
Thank you for this video. I'm Nataahende (Mountain Crevice) Band Mescalero Apache. Shared this with my kids. I am happy they are showing a lot of interest.
Thank you so much for making this video! Your message was just beautiful. I have always wanted to hear the Mescalero Apache language but have never had the chance to until now, thank you! May God bless you and your work always.
This is a very good effort to preserve the language. We should focus more on keeping languages alive. It makes very difficult for me to find an interpreter if the resources of a certain language is very low. Apache is one of them
Da'an'zho ixehe thank you my brother I'm 100 💯% native american mescalero apache of new mexico texas I'm constantine joshua acevedo montanez (mountain clan) Mescaleros thrive still in colorado new mexico el paso to midland texas where my grandpa cruz is from....never Forget who i am thanks mom she is apache and in our culture if your mom is apache your apache. The mescalero is where we are from, Northern mexico as home to many apache brothers and sisters including kickapoo as well...shout out to my nana de coahuila
Oh cool! I am Navajo and this pretty neat to learn about languages from neighboring nations. Aoo Naabeeho nishli eedoo da ay ya Diné nishli. Nizhoni yee. Tsyi!
I’m lipan apache an have been tracing my heritage ever since i was 10 years old . I’ve been incredibly lonely in terms of being with my people . I’ve had a hard time finding out our clan from my grandfather all the way in Brownsville/matamoros.. I’m of the lighting storm people , and the paternal clan of those who carry water , but have no way of learning our language because of my grandparents passing. .
thank you for this my grandfather is a half breed and spent a lot of his childhood on the reservation in new mexico and its important to me that I honor him in learning his first language
I truly loved this video. I hope to learn one of the Apache languages some day. This is just the first step. Ahxéhee'. Dooládó' nizhóní da. Baa ahxééh nissin. Thank you greatly!
Please continue making these videos , my grandfather was Mescalero Apache , and my Grandmother was Cherokee, I am half native American and half Scottish , but I have always been intrigued by the Mescalero people !! Like your Video , much honor and respect for you !!!
We have great need our Nde' peoples to heal and to rebuild our families, clans, bands, and nation.After 520 plus of colonization, the war on our spirits and being, we suffer still from inter-generational trauma as a result of language loss.I am Lipan from Konitsaaii gokiyaa, my spirit wants to speak my mother tongue. As an adult, I lost Nde' language.We lack teachers who can help us regain the language without judgement.Can we overcome the injustices that denied us our language and re-build?
My Father lives near San Carlos and I just might have the information to officially enroll. Once where I used to work a Mexican Woman told me (Greatest compliment I ever received!) that I looked more Indian than I do Mexican. My journey has just begun!
I know you know this already, but all "Mexicans" who have "brown skin" and "black hair" - ie: what most people think of when they see or describe "a Mexican" [ie: all of their ancestors are not European, African or Asian] - are Indian - Native American / American Indian / Mexican Indian. They / you are all the same -- "Mexicans" [of Native Indian Ancestry] living south of the US-Mexico Border have the exact same genetic ancestry as Indians and "Norte Mexicanos" living North of the US-Mexico Border .. Mexico was settled by Europeans in the exact same way America was settled by Europeans - a lot of White, Anglo, Caucasian Spaniards from Spain and Portugal and Italy and the Mediterranean sailed to Mexico and interbred with the local indigenous Indian population, creating lighter-skinned "Mexicans" .. A "Mexican" can be born in the US, to parents who were born in the US, to grandparents who were born is the US, to great-grandparents who were born in the US - but if they "look Mexican" [black hair and brown skin] then, to most Americans, they "are Mexican" -- and either "need to get a green card" or "need to go back home" .. Americans have been brainwashed into believing "all Brown People are foreigners" and have a problem grasping with the fact that "Mexicans" [people born in Mexico, with a Mexican Birth Certificate, a Mexican ID card and speaking fluent Mexican Spanish] can be pasty white, freckled and Red-headed, or blond, or "Germanic looking" -- with zero Native American or "Mexican" DNA .. they just automatically assume a "Mexican" - all "Mexicans" - are Brown Skinned, Black Haired, short and pudgy, because those are the only Mexicans they see in Movies and advertisements .. whether you identify as "Mexican" or "Indian", you're Indian .. light "Mexican Brown" skin tone, medium "Mexican-Indian" brown skin tone or dark brown "Native Indian" skin tone [the skin tone most Mexican and Native American Indians had before interbreeding with Caucasian Europeans and Asians] it doesn't matter .. it all stems from the exact same DNA .. the only real difference is what tribe your descended from .. Eastern US and Canada Indians have a generally slightly different skin tone and facial feature than Western US / Mexican / Central American Indians .. and I would say Plains Indians have, generally, a slightly different skin tone and facial feature than Pueblo Indians and Apache .. but maybe they didn't have so great a difference before White Men showed up .. the differences really are as a Brother would be to a Brother, or a Father to a Child, or an Uncle to a Nephew, or a Grandfather to a Grandson ..
@@bradhartliep879 When I wrote this, my Father was still alive and I would lose him two years later on the 15th of December 2014. My entire heritage consists of Mexican-Mescalero Apache. Growing up I only knew of my Mexican heritage and it was not until being reconciled with my Father after the death of my paternal grandfather in 1988. Thus it has been a challenge even knowing where to locate documents when there is a chance that there might not be any.
Growing up i always thought I was full Navajo until recently I found out my father's side of family are Mescelero. But somehow.I felt I had Apache roots ,The songs call to me and I somehow this came to be true . I'm apart Mescelero Apache. I'm very honored come from strong people. Thank you for the knowledge and help to get me started learning who I am.
I am an enrolled Fort Sill Apache and my grandmother is from Mescalero, can anyone help me with finding any materials for learning the language? It is my grandmothers native language but she forgot it when she was a child. I would really love to learn this and maybe help her re-learn it. Thanks!
a powerfull feeling when you're listening... Now i have a body an indonesian girl, but I will always be an Apache indian.. I was the vieuwer of our clan back in 1825.. The vieuwer of Deneche the chief of the apache indians than.. The indian name of my husband now, was at that time Senith. Another friend at that time was Badir. I want to know if there are people who lived at that time too. and i want to know if there are older people, granddad's, great grand .
In the books about Chee and Leaphorn, it is explained that the Dineh have intermarried with those that live around them. The Mescalero would be included in that, as would the Paiute peoples to the North.
Let us just say for myself, being the descendant (Spelling?) of Mescalero Medicine Men. (My Father has said that my Great Grandfather and Grandfather were Medicine men.) I am on a mission of healing. So this is the path I am taking and I hope it is the one Ussen is leading me to!
I hope I'm not an intruder here, as I don't have any connections with the Apache people at all. I worked with some Chickasaw students who spent a year in the UK (where I live), which led me to a great interest in the first languages in the USA. This is a beautiful language, that much is clear already. It's tonal, isn't it? The tradition of starting the lesson with this prayer - I wish we had something equivalent here. It is, I guess, an invocation of spiritual "mindfulness". Thank you for your work in bringing this language to people's awareness throughout the world. I'll be back!
thank you for your video . my father and my self and my two brothers have mescalero apache heritage . our grand father and grand mother had native heritage. i wish to learn more. some time before my granfathers passing . he all ways told me you may find your self lost but don't forget were you came from and you are . thank you
Im tryin to find out if im related to a apache tribe can anyone tell me how i can find out if i am my dads family tree dont go anywhere online i need help!!!
I inquired about the language program and you have to be registered in the tribe. I do not blame them! I am of Mescalero Apache heritage. But I was born and raised in Ohio. My Dad told me our family high tailed it from the rez before anything was officially recorded. But I really would like to learn!
I'm mescalero apache and I'm only half but I'm all warrior blood. I've been searching for my entire life for my family on this side. I need to learn something or see so I can break this barrier holding me back. I know nothing about my people or family. Please if you have any info it would help me to learn who I am.
I am part apache, but that doesn't matter. For every person has a chance to learn it. It's just I think the generations have forgotten the past. The feeling of being one.
As a navajo i can understand what he says . Certain words they substitute a 1 letter or 2 letters throw you off at first but if look pass the letter you can understand the words.
oh god I had a hard time studying russian and now I can say that I reached a good level. But compared to Apache is just a peace of cake. It might seem absurd but I think that USA should evaluate to put languages of native americans as compulsory in highschool, they do the same in new zeland. I'm not a native american or nor from the U.S.A. but I think that this would be a great thing.
HI I am doing something really special with my grandmothers grave stone and I was hope you could help me out, ok so my grandmother was part Apache and although most of her grave stone will be in english besides the one word that is in Hawaiian I really want at least one word to be in Apache and I was really hoping that you could help me if you are able to help me the words I am looking for are something like evermore or Heaven it would really mean a lot to me to put a piece of what my grandmother loved on her grave stone.so agin the words I would love to have evermore or Heaven from english to Apache or both would be great I am a little undecided on witch one I am going to use. so please your help would mean so much and have a blessed day and a happy new year.
I wish I could teach my son Western Athabaskan, but I know enough to know I don't know anything, Even though I'm close to 1/2 Apache by what my grandmothers have told me I have never really spent much time with the Apache tribes, I think I should plan to move to an area closer so my son can learn about that part of his heritage...I look around and sadly those who are not taught cannot teach...I wanted my son to learn about his Apache, Scandinavian, Thai,Cambodian, Chinese ancestry and his peoples history...without them there is no him and history is important.
I'm a white man and I would very much like to learn the mescaleros language. I live in Sacramento CA, and I loved the apache people since I was a little kid. I am so interested to meet one Apache in person and also to learn the language.
I love the part where he is staring at naiłdandzi and is like wait whatttttts going on here.......apache is so hard to learn.....bikegu Indan shizaai beegusha shi ochi pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee🥺🥺🥺🥺😄🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was wondering about that, how many Spanish loan words are there in Apache, I know that Nahuatl, the Mexica (Aztec) language there mostly for foreign things like chickens and horses.
***** I don't know either of those languages, but the original comment makes me think that the idea was not that the words were any similar (which they obviously aren't, being from completely different language groups), but that the way the languages treat reality is similar. I'd have to know them to be able to tell if that's the case, but the idea in itself could be plausible. I read somewhere, years ago, that Apache had a sound similar to a sound in my own language (Czech). I have not heard it here, so now I'm curious to hear more and find out if it is true... And interestingly, the German writer Karl May, who got lots of Europeans interested in indigenous cultures and who of course basically made things up, apparently actually got the first person pronoun correct for Apache.
I live in France and it's very difficult to find material to learn your language! Somebody could please help me to buy dictionary, or books or means to learn this endangered language? Thank s for your help!
Learning a language is hard but there are a few dedicated people who truly know that once language is gone,,there is no history of the people,,,that is why one has to know their language,,,Apache sounds like words of imagery,,,much different than most language,,closest is probably Spanish,,,
Hi. I am currently a non mescalero speaking person. I just resucued a dog from the Roswell area. I would like to name him in a Mesaclero word..... like The Greek god Apollo, soldiier of hunting? or healing. Can someone help me with some written vocablulary please.
Not a chance. There may be loan words from spanish, but spanish is a latin language from the Indogerman family close to Italian, Portuguese and Latin, Apache is from the Southern-Athabaskan family, close to the languages of the other apache nations. In spanish, there are a few laryngal sounds, like the "g" in Angel or Geronimo. In apache, as far as I can hear, there are laryngal as well as nasal sounds, like the nasal "ł".
Im 1/4 Euro-Mexican,1/4 Lipan Apache,1/4 Polish,and 1/4 English(Anglo-Saxon).What does that make me?By the way the Apache language sounds so sweet and charming.Stay Stoked.
I love this, I am Mescalero and this helps me a lot. I see other Native languages coming out on apps, why not Mescalero Apache? You can teach and also make money doing it. I would buy it and gladly support you.

HI I am doing something really special with my grandmothers grave stone and I was hope you could help me out, ok so my grandmother was part Apache and although most of her grave stone will be in english besides the one word that is in Hawaiian I really want at least one word to be in Apache and I was really hoping that you could help me if you are able to help me the words I am looking for are something like evermore or Heaven it would really mean a lot to me to put a piece of what my grandmother loved on her grave stone.so agin the words I would love to have evermore or Heaven from english to Apache or both would be great I am a little undecided on witch one I am going to use. so please your help would mean so much and have a blessed day and a happy new year.
Let’s make this language universal for all in USA
Ba- na sha😍
I wish I could teach my son Western Athabaskan, but I know enough to know I don't know anything, Even though I'm close to 1/2 Apache by what my grandmothers have told me I have never really spent much time with the Apache tribes, I think I should plan to move to an area closer so my son can learn about that part of his heritage...I look around and sadly those who are not taught cannot teach...I wanted my son to learn about his Apache, Scandinavian, Thai,Cambodian, Chinese ancestry and his peoples history...without them there is no him and history is important.
this is so good to see.

I'm a white man and I would very much like to learn the mescaleros language. I live in Sacramento CA, and I loved the apache people since I was a little kid. I am so interested to meet one Apache in person and also to learn the language.
Where do i go to learn more! 😊
Sounds Navajo but a few shorts words mixed in makes it mescalero i guess. I could understand it pretty well.

Does anyone know of any other videos or programs for the Mescalero Apache language?
IS THERE A BOOK AVAILABLE TO GO WITH THIS MESCALERA APACHE SERIES?
Im Dine' and i most likely can have a conversation with this man.
I was wondering about that, how many Spanish loan words are there in Apache, I know that Nahuatl, the Mexica (Aztec) language there mostly for foreign things like chickens and horses.
***** I don't know either of those languages, but the original comment makes me think that the idea was not that the words were any similar (which they obviously aren't, being from completely different language groups), but that the way the languages treat reality is similar. I'd have to know them to be able to tell if that's the case, but the idea in itself could be plausible.
I read somewhere, years ago, that Apache had a sound similar to a sound in my own language (Czech). I have not heard it here, so now I'm curious to hear more and find out if it is true...
And interestingly, the German writer Karl May, who got lots of Europeans interested in indigenous cultures and who of course basically made things up, apparently actually got the first person pronoun correct for Apache.
I live in France and it's very difficult to find material to learn your language! Somebody could please help me to buy dictionary, or books or means to learn this endangered language? Thank s for your help!
Learning a language is hard but there are a few dedicated people who truly know that once language is gone,,there is no history of the people,,,that is why one has to know their language,,,Apache sounds like words of imagery,,,much different than most language,,closest is probably Spanish,,,
Hi. I am currently a non mescalero speaking person. I just resucued a dog from the Roswell area. I would like to name him in a Mesaclero word..... like The Greek god Apollo, soldiier of hunting? or healing. Can someone help me with some written vocablulary please.
Before after me internity no matter what apostlic God and the devil and Jesus Christ name amen
How do you say Good night?
Hmm. Some Dine' in there too💖
Hopefully with the help of the internet the languages of the Natives will remain alive.
Is mescelaro the same as white mtn apache?... or the same as chokkonen apache?
Not a chance. There may be loan words from spanish, but spanish is a latin language from the Indogerman family close to Italian, Portuguese and Latin, Apache is from the Southern-Athabaskan family, close to the languages of the other apache nations.
In spanish, there are a few laryngal sounds, like the "g" in Angel or Geronimo. In apache, as far as I can hear, there are laryngal as well as nasal sounds, like the nasal "ł".
thank you for teaching my language
thank you my ppl need to know our language native apache pride :)
Im 1/4 Euro-Mexican,1/4 Lipan Apache,1/4 Polish,and 1/4 English(Anglo-Saxon).What does that make me?By the way the Apache language sounds so sweet and charming.Stay Stoked.
