<p begin="00:00:17.46" end="00:00:21.76" style="1">I grew up thinking that I would never</p>
<p begin="00:00:21.76" end="00:00:23.40" style="1">be able to hear our songs. </p>
<p begin="00:00:23.40" end="00:00:27.60" style="1">Or that I would never know what our language sounded like.</p>
<p begin="00:00:27.60" end="00:00:32.95" style="1">My paternal grandmother had a lot of plant knowledge.</p>
<p begin="00:00:32.95" end="00:00:37.35" style="1">But other than that, my family no longer</p>
<p begin="00:00:37.35" end="00:00:41.19" style="1">carried any of the traditions. </p>
<p begin="00:00:41.19" end="00:00:43.70" style="1">So in order to begin learning my language,</p>
<p begin="00:00:43.70" end="00:00:46.23" style="1">I found that it was necessary for me</p>
<p begin="00:00:46.23" end="00:00:53.18" style="1">to access linguistic field notes on microfilm.</p>
<p begin="00:00:53.18" end="00:00:58.30" style="1">I randomly pulled some film and started looking.</p>
<p begin="00:00:58.30" end="00:01:02.54" style="1">And that was my first experience with being exposed</p>
<p begin="00:01:02.54" end="00:01:06.56" style="1">to finding bits of our language. </p>
<p begin="00:01:06.56" end="00:01:08.23" style="1">It was vocabulary. </p>
<p begin="00:01:08.23" end="00:01:16.31" style="1">Oh, yeah, [OHLONE] means pobre de mi, poor me.</p>
<p begin="00:01:16.31" end="00:01:17.75" style="1">[OHLONE] </p>
<p begin="00:01:17.75" end="00:01:22.25" style="1">Over years and years of working with Harrington's field notes,</p>
<p begin="00:01:22.25" end="00:01:25.52" style="1">I have learned. </p>
<p begin="00:01:25.52" end="00:01:29.05" style="1">I totally know now what symbols represent</p>
<p begin="00:01:29.05" end="00:01:36.44" style="1">what sounds, and moved on from the beginning, which</p>
<p begin="00:01:36.44" end="00:01:38.65" style="1">was being afraid to even say it out</p>
<p begin="00:01:38.65" end="00:01:47.25" style="1">loud to being able to string together sentences.</p>
<p begin="00:01:47.25" end="00:01:52.49" style="1">The word for sun is [OHLONE]. </p>
<p begin="00:01:52.49" end="00:01:58.96" style="1">But interestingly, the word for moon is [OHLONE].</p>
<p begin="00:01:58.96" end="00:02:01.31" style="1">And [OHLONE] is night. </p>
<p begin="00:02:01.31" end="00:02:03.83" style="1">Sun and moon. </p>
<p begin="00:02:03.83" end="00:02:08.82" style="1">Now here's sun and night sun. </p>

<p begin="00:02:18.99" end="00:02:21.70" style="1">It's like, don't always think about things</p>
<p begin="00:02:21.70" end="00:02:25.63" style="1">the same old boring compartmentalized ways</p>

<p begin="00:02:34.79" end="00:02:37.89" style="1">You know, I learned a few songs, believe it or not,</p>
<p begin="00:02:37.89" end="00:02:42.75" style="1">from paper and from audio recordings that Harrington did.</p>
<p begin="00:02:42.75" end="00:02:49.87" style="1">At the time when Harrington was working in Monterey area,</p>
<p begin="00:02:49.87" end="00:02:52.83" style="1">he was working with the aluminum disks.</p>

<p begin="00:03:01.92" end="00:03:05.63" style="1">And I just worked with them for hours and hours,</p>

<p begin="00:03:10.70" end="00:03:14.30" style="1">listen again, back it up, listen again, back it up, just over</p>
<p begin="00:03:14.30" end="00:03:17.12" style="1">and over and over, just discerning</p>
<p begin="00:03:17.12" end="00:03:22.70" style="1">what each syllable, until I put together all the syllables</p>
