Main Points

• different versions of same story- depends on who tells it. Kids what the same story all the time.
• List to the elders and don’t take the objections of the “middle” generations personally.
• IN the story is change to match today generations then accept it as long as it doesn’t change the message.
• Roman letters/syllabics both are used which is really?
• Language belongs to everyone
• work together to come to consensus about dialect
• One decisions better than no decisions
• if people complain but don’t help, let them talk but knot let them get to you/stop you from doing what you’re doing
• involve the young generations in the work, involve all of the family groups.
