Potawatomi writer and botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer breaks it down like this: “Of an inanimate being, like a table, we say, ‘What is it?’
And we answer ‘Dopwen yewe.’ ‘Table it is.’ But of an apple, we must say, ‘Who is that being?’ And reply ‘Mshimin yawe.’
‘Apple that being is.’” Or, in my tribe, the Navajo, or Dine’, we use the word “hózhó” to refer to a sense of harmony in different situations.
