{"title":"Skokomish Tribe: Bear Witness Testimony—Waking My Indigenous Heart","authors":"Tanya Chargualaf Taimanglo","doi":"10.1353/man.2023.a903825","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/man.2023.a903825","url":null,"abstract":"My name is Tanya Kang Chargualaf Taimanglo. Although I hail from Marysville, Washington, I am originally from Guam. I am from Ordot, my childhood village. I am fromMangilao, my adulthood village. I am fully invested in being a genuine ally to the Tulalip Tribes, the indigenous peoples of my adopted hometown in the Pacific Northwest. I feel tendons of similarity from how our youth treat their elders to fishing in the same ocean thousands of miles apart. Your food, from the earth, from the salt waters are much like my food. Similar tastebuds, similar care in cuisine, and the sameness in how we revere our lands are cultural connective tissue. Your cedar rope is my palm leaf. Weaving, woven, we are intertwined. My own roots, Chamorro and Korean, are better appreciated today with the chance to share that my maiden name, “Chargualaf” means Crab Hunter by the Moonlight, and that my married name, “Taimanglo” means No Wind. Earlier this week, I said, “My name is Tanya and I love Wonder Woman”—but now I have new superheroes to look up to. To the Skokomish and supporting tribes, THANK YOU. I honor you, your ancestors, your songs, and your stories. I’ve connected to myself through the conduit of our common culture. To the Skokomish and supporting tribes, I THANK YOU. For materials from your land, for food from the earth prepared affectionately for us this past week... WE THANK YOU. A cedar rope, a spear, games, knowledge of flora and fauna are great tokens, but the bigger gifts you have given me is the time to connect; to a plethora of tribes, to a trove of skills, to a deeper sense of self, and how I project love and good intentions. THANK YOU. I am armed with new inspiration, with insight to your trauma and your perseverance to RISE. I am emboldened to be a better educator, parent, ally, and community member.","PeriodicalId":40635,"journal":{"name":"Manoa-A Pacific Journal of International Writing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42223100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We circled their square-rigged proa which was larger than any of ours. We look back and see everyone standing watching us. Some launch more proas and join the circle.

A heron towered over the brackish water from an overhanging oak branch while hares retreated for their burrows out of the swaggering path of a hungry xus. He came to the edge of the river without a name and made ripples. The smell of oak ash and sweat caught his attention and he looked up the river and saw a dugout canoe paddled by two boys. The boys stared at the xus and the drumming of woodpeckers in oak woodlands echoed. The older boy gripped his paddle harder making it squeak just enough for the xus to hear. The xus stood up and the boys held their breath. They posed no threat to the xus. He lowered to all fours and disappeared into the bulrush. The boys watched where he once stood for a moment and exhaled. “It’s real,” said Pititi. “That was the xus father saw when he was your age, Silkiset.” “Maybe,” said Silkiset. “Don’t tell father.” “That was the xus father saw when he was your age, Silkiset,” said Pititi. “I still smell him,” Pititi said, scrunching his nose. “Do you know why they smell like that?” asked Silkiset. “Because they eat honey.” “That’s not real,” said Silkiset sternly. “Xus like to rub themselves on trees and the biggest ones use the biggest trees to scratch. That’s why they smell like fire.” “But he didn’t smell like fire,” said Pititi. “He just smelled bad.”","PeriodicalId":40635,"journal":{"name":"Manoa-A Pacific Journal of International Writing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47143761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
