Akhwá:tsire – My Family is a comprehensive Kanien’kéha language workbook that guides learners through speaking about family, relationships, identity, and everyday interactions using culturally grounded language structures.
The workbook includes nine structured units, covering pronouns and names, family members (including older and younger relatives), introductions, plurals, clans, loving terms, and everyday commands. Learners practice asking and answering questions about family, identifying clan affiliation, and using correct singular, dual, and plural forms. Activities include illustrated vocabulary charts, matching exercises, fill-in-the-blank practice, sentence building, dialogue reading, and real-life conversation prompts. Dedicated sections support cultural knowledge such as Bear, Wolf, Turtle, and Snipe clans, along with respectful ways to express having no clan.
This workbook is ideal for community programs, classrooms, independent learners, and language revitalization initiatives, offering a practical and culturally respectful way to build confidence speaking Kanien’kéha about family and daily life.
