In the USSR, a book about the Shawnee Indians was popular - Sat-Okh. Land of salty rocks - my favorite book of childhood, I read it many times. I have infinite respect for these people and their ancient history of living in harmony with nature. May the Great spirit be with you. From Russia with love. My name is bitter berry))), I don't know how to say it in Shawnee

Can we have more videos of just fluent, long form spoken language please? Like maybe a story or a conversation? It is hard to hear the cadence etc just from these short bits. Thank you!
