Finally!!! Today my DNA states Yaqui. My aunt has told me my entire life. I was starting to feel like my DNA was gaslighting. I found my family!❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for teaching us our lost (in my case) language.
I remember my grandfather who is full Yaki teaching me the language when I was a little girl. But when he passed away I completely forgot his teachings.. something in my spirit has been telling me to start learning again. I really hope I can accomplish this by your viewing. Thank you..
I learned that my great grandmother was full Yaqui and was told by her husband not to teach Yaqui to her children. It breaks my heart that I lost that connection to my ancestors. Thank you so much for these videos because I really want to reconnect to my Yaqui ancestors and the language. I was born in Sinoloa, El Guamuchil and have lost all connection to my indigenous ancestors.
A Ho! I have been told and knew I was Apache Yaqui Born of the Yellow Feather Clan. My grandparents on my dads side both passed and on my mothers side only my grandmother who is 92 is still with us. I started looking up things in the Yoeme way but could not find a lot. My cousins are now starting g to try to look up history and things. I have told them what I do know. It is noice to know I can learn and try to teach my grandson Spanish and the Yaqui language. Thank you so much!
@@yoemelanguageproject5970 You should read these with the Cyrillic Alphabet, the pronunciation is far more accurate than the latin. The Latin phonetic reading makes it sound like Arab Spaniard trying to speak Japanese. Hakun empo ho'ak = хаку емпо-хуак . Latin slows down the pronunciation by a lot, with the Cyrillic the pronunciation is way way more faster and closer to how it would have been pronunced pre contact. Hangul also is more accurate too since the Koreanic phonetic is also similar to Mongolic-amerindian phoentic.

I've had a spirit awakening recently...through the journey of a psychedelic trip. I've been compelled to learn more about my ROOTS. . I want to learn who I am before my name...
I’ve always used e’e for no without knowing it’s Yaqui thank you for this! I have subscribed I come from Yaqui and Apache on my moms side. Trying to reconnect and I’m loving this.
thank u so much for this, im half yaqui and have always wanted to learn the language but sadly my grandma passed away and she was the last family member that spoke it. my brother did speak it but he forgot how to after living in america for so long. this is so helpful!!
Happy it helps- and thank you for sharing a bit of your family's history. We are starting our zoom free classes very soon, for more info please email us at cesar3@ucla.edu
HIi brother Iam 74 years all and I wasnt to learn my fathers language regarless of my age. Thank you for taking the time to help your people to keep our identity, culture, traditions and way of life. Again thank you/Chiokoe Uttesiavu.
my mom is Yaqui but she never learned the language and she also never teaches me our culture, i have done research myself and i am beyond proud. I want to learn the language and be able to teach her as well
Thank you for sharing and for your support! We'd like to you invite you to our upcoming free Yaqui classes via zoom. For more info please email us at cesar3@ucla.edu
Thank You you Caesar I, I appreciate the teachings of our heritage. I'm self taught and researching so that I can pass this knowledge on to my children and their children as well as my niece & great niece and any others that I can pass onto. I have a question in regards to Where do I live? I would say Inepo Orange Countypo Ho'ak I live in Orange County. You referenced you add a po for Los Angeles would that go at the end of any city you in when you answer where you live?
Thank you very much for doing this! We didn't learn our language in our family, my grandmother spoke Spanish, she was born in Guadalupe but lived in Mexico.
Hi sister this is the first time listening to your program and I really enjoyed it. I know you mentioned you were in LA do you have any meetup ? I would love to learn this language that is part of my heritage
This may sound crazy but my grandma was yaqui and I believe she has been my spirit guide. She gave me the name PureSkin because I have no tattoos. Can you translate this for me?
This is my grandmother's jovitas language I can not find any of her siblings she is buried with her first son Juan at the first old mission in Los Angeles San Gabriel
Question about Haisiuwa. I noticed you put a flower as the picture behind it, was that on purpose? I read that seewa is flower and "haisa seewa?" Is like saying "how is your flower (soul)". Are Haisiuwa and Haisa Seewa the same? Chiokoe.
That is a great question, I chose the flower more as a gesture, haisa hiuwa or haisuwa shortened version mean what is being said, what expression comes from you. Haisa seewa would be more like which/what flower
Cesar, I was hoping for you to say you're going to teach us words in Yaqui, rather than "our language", since I've heard conflicting pronunciations: YACK-ee and YAH-key. I've always understood it to be #1, and Wikipedia doesn't give a pronunciation. Thanks for your help.
