Kinship structure, we should be able to go back to learn the behavioral patterns. There are about eight of them, and they're all addressed interrelationship between siblings, parents, in-laws, collateral relatives. So, that was a core of our society we call a wāʻohula, which is to respect, but I use these terms. So, these kinship terms spell out what you should do, behave towards your relatives. We lost a lot of that. Myself, I've grown up in that world of the behavioral patterns and kinship system. I knew all of my relatives, and we go by anthropological term, which is a bifurcate marriage system where we have a second set of parents, which evolves into a second pair of brothers, sisters, siblings. And the interrelationship between them is close. But the wildest thing is that we have two separate kinship behavioral terms. One is complete avoidance, and the other one is a lot of interaction between brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws. And that's to promote a levering, which if your wife dies, and if you make an arrangement, her sister would become the mother, and same thing with when the husband dies, the same thing there. So, you have a sorority there, so that's what this avoidance is, and also teasing and joking with your relatives, your brother-in-law and sister-in-law. You joke with the brother-in-laws to see how far they go for the sister-in-law's possible marriage. So, you have to understand a lot of that, so that plays a large role in how you do that. And you also try to avoid yourself, like I avoid my mother-in-law. I don't talk to her. I don't look at her. That's a sign of deepest respect. Same thing with my wife. She never talks to my father. So she always says, I really got a good daughter, because she never talks to me, and she cooks for me. She's nice. So, we're always trying to play jokes to get them to talk, to break that taboo. And that's there to prevent parental interference in the marriage, initially. So those are some of the things in the kinship system that we have to go back to. Also, the idea of sharing, the idea of these related families connected into the clan system. So the core of that, of course, is respect, how you address somebody. Whoever you address usually carry out the behavioral patterns within her. So for instance, my sister-in-law, what we call hunka, that's your female cross-cousin. But your parallel cousin, your sister-in-law, of course, is your term you use, hunka. Hunkashi is, you put the she at the end, which means taboo, which is your cross-cousin, female cousin, because you can't have no relationship with her. You sort of have partial avoidance, which you can joke with your sister-in-law. So I grew up in a world doing that. So a lot of those have to be brought back to formally respect, and you can't, in the system, you can't look anybody straight in the eye. You have to kind of look at a distance. His term is, he's looking at me with a white smile, which means angry. So those are things that are part of the respect that we have with regard to relationships. So those are some things that I really feel should be brought back, some that can work. Of course, we have to talk to our in-laws, our fatherin-laws. We understand that change has to be made. If we have this idea of respect, we'll be able to form a close relationship as it extends in linkage and networking. And so that's what we really want is to, the kinship system has to be developed where we'll go back to terms, the behavioral patterns, and the interrelationships that occur.

Yeah, kinship rules, you know, once again, they were established, they were set up in a way that, you know, really helped our society have a flow in terms of, you know, the balance was there. The balance of everyday life, everyone knew their role, we knew what needed to be done, and we never spent time questioning why those needed to be done. It was just a simple, but great way of life that we lived. And then the come of settlers and Christopher Columbus and, you know, all of this that came, you know, in Custer, all of these experiences have really changed our kinship roles to now adjusting to today's society, where I would say there's a lack of really clearly defined roles for our children to follow. I mean, we talk about role models, we talk about individuals to kind of lead the way, but if we don't have the tools ourselves to really establish a society where we can foster our traditional kinship values and roles that we had, it really makes it difficult. So we almost have to go to that place, we have to challenge ourselves as teachers, as educators, as parents, to really work on ourselves personally, you know, to not live in a way where you have addictions, where you have behaviors, where you're not allowing students to grow. I think so much over time, a long time ago our grandparents and our parents spent time helping students learn tools by watching, but nowadays our role is so, there's such a challenge that our grandmothers, our grandfathers spend more time trying to control the future of our grandchildren. Our parents spend so much time telling the students, telling our kiddos what not to do, rather than showing them what to do, because our students are so in a place where they don't have the basic tools, you know, available to them and they're setting their own lives in their daily, you know, whether it's trauma or whether it's other experiences they may have had.

A lot of people, a lot of kids got sent to boarding school, but none of us went because our dad had bad heart trouble. And then our mom wasn't well either, so we just stayed with her. I'm just glad though. I'm just thankful that I stayed with my sister and I, and lived with them until they all passed on. Because my older sister got married and moved to White River. My sister, Katherine, and I stayed at the old, we just stayed there until our dad passed away. A lot of kids went to boarding school. I don't know about boarding school, people talk about boarding school, but I'm... You probably wouldn't know your language if you went to boarding school because they wouldn't allow us to... I know they used to always say that, but I don't know anything about that because I didn't go to boarding school.

Very important, you know, your relationships. I think at times we forget just how family, when you come right down to it, is going to be with you your whole life. You can have friends come and go and they're really good friends for this period and then they get a job and they're gone. And you exchange Christmas cards and it fades. But family is always there. And in the end, that's what you have to really rely on. And I'm getting older, so the older I get. And I got a letter yesterday. I had a friend die in Sioux Falls and now that's gone. That friendship is… gone. So I don't even know her family. They were all up in Saint Paul. So you lose those connections. Whereas right now I can still pick up the phone, call my uncles, my aunts, and as old as I am, I still have an uncle and aunts are living.

I didn’t have grandma and grandpa on both sides. We didn’t have that. So they weren’t around us. So I envy those that have their grandparents, in a good way. And had that upbringing…the teaching of the language and the ways, our ways. And so, when I hear somebody talking like that, I’m like “Oh my gosh.” I still go back and think, “I wish I had my grandma and grandpa.” The last thing I remember with my grandma on my dad’s side was she had real long hair and she let me comb her hair up. She’d always keep it in a braid and wrap it around here. She wore the grandma dresses and she had the apron on. I got to spend the night with her one evening and she let me brush her hair. That’s the only thing I can hold on to as far as my grandparents go. And my grandpa, I remember…we lived by the river before it flooded…and I could see him chopping wood…he was always chopping wood.

I didn’t have grandma and grandpa on both sides. We didn’t have that. So they weren’t around us. So I envy those that have their grandparents, in a good way. And had that upbringing…the teaching of the language and the ways, our ways. And so, when I hear somebody talking like that, I’m like “Oh my gosh.” I still go back and think, “I wish I had my grandma and grandpa.” The last thing I remember with my grandma on my dad’s side was she had real long hair and she let me comb her hair up. She’d always keep it in a braid and wrap it around here. She wore the grandma dresses and she had the apron on. I got to spend the night with her one evening and she let me brush her hair. That’s the only thing I can hold on to as far as my grandparents go. And my grandpa, I remember…we lived by the river before it flooded…and I could see him chopping wood…he was always chopping wood.
