kesalul ( literally meaning "i love you" in mi'kmawi'simk ); yakat ( literally meaning "that poor little one" in wolastoqey ); shakihi ( literally meaning "love" in michif ); yanariskwa' ( literally meaning "wolf" in wendat which ironically enough is the clan im& descended from in this nation lmao ); nikezaldami ( literally meaning "my beloved" in abenaki ).

Labored breaths and bed sores, sing it to me all day long When the aching sound of silence used to be our favorite song You and me against the world, you were my man and I your girl We had nothing except each other, you were my whole world - A House In Nebraska by Ethel Cain
