Global Voices Potluck 4/28

Global Voices will have a potluck on 4/28! :)

We will begin setting up at 6:30, please come early if you can.

Potluck definition: a party where everyone brings food and drinks to share (food specifically from your culture is very much desired!). :)

There's no need to cook if you don't want to, grocery store items are fine! Bringing nothing is also fine! :) The potluck will be held at our usual meeting place.

*4/28 is our last meeting this semester.

*If you are interested in meeting over the summer, please let me know!
(I know people may be in and out of town, so that's fine.)

I'm attaching a link and lyrics below to a beautiful Native American Cherokee morning song that we sang last week. It's been in my head every morning since then! :)
Take care! -Jennifer :)


We n' de ya ho, We n' de ya ho,
We n' de ya, We n' de ya Ho ho ho ho,
He ya ho, He ya ho, Ya ya ya

Translation - We n' de ya ho

Freely translated:
"A we n'" (I am), "de" (of), "Yauh" --the-- (Great Spirit), "Ho" (it is so).

Written as: A we n' de Yauh ho (I am of the Great Spirit, Ho!).

This language stems from very ancient Cherokee


Translation by David Michael Wolfe who is an Eastern Virginia Cherokee and a cultural historian.
Enjoy! It's a great way to wake up! :)
