(Spider Grandmother apinting By Ginger Strivelli)
First let me post a few disclaimers...Tsalagi is not my native tounge, as if anyone could be doubtful of that...I am trying to teach myself the language in honor of my Tsalagi Great-Grand-mother, whom these poems are dedicated to.
So, if you are a native speaker, please look over my humble attempts at poetry with your language!
I hope to write more and hopefully better Tsalagi poetry in the future, as I learn the language. (May My great grand mother, Zelvia's spirit guide me along with the Spider Grandmother Goddess, Kanene Ski Amai Yehi!)
