BOX 5 | The first old man I met at Zuni (name unknown), September, 1963 | ||||||||||||
35 mm color slide | |||||||||||||
Slide: AFC 2004/010: 1 | |||||||||||||
This was on my first visit to Zuni on the way back from my last year of training in linguistics at the University of Oklahoma. Upon arriving at Zuni, I began to walk around the village, and came across this old man. The old man's daughter stepped out of her house when I stopped to visit with him. She spoke English, so I asked her how to tell the old man "Hello." Then I asked her to ask him to let me take his picture. He consented, so I took the picture, then asked his daughter how to say "thank you" in Zuni. I took the picture, and said, "Elahkwa." I was speaking Zuni. | |||||||||||||

Rex was a literalist, when it came to teaching me to speak Zuni. I asked him how I would tell someone, "I'm glad (that) you came," after they had visited me. His response in Zuni was two separate declarative statements: "I'm glad" and "You came". Neither statement had anything to do with the other. Rex passed away in 1965. I was at his bedside, when he died. | |||||||||||||

Almost all of my early language learning was in visits such as this with old men. Consequently, I learned an older dialect of Zuni; so much so that a high schooler in the literacy class I taught in summer school commented: "Cook, he talks like an old man." | |||||||||||||

In a session with Owaleon Nash, I was trying to find an equivalent term for the Biblical concept of "repentance." I told him in Zuni that "repentance" was what you do when you are walking one direction on your road of life (an appropriate metaphor in Zuni for one's personal conduct), and you decide that you're not walking the right way; so you "change your road" (i.e., "you change your behavior"). After giving the idea some thought, he said "How can I change my road? I'm a Zuni." | |||||||||||||

Lorenzo was always sharp, and had an exceptional memory. His input into the translation work was extremely reliable, and he was so highly respected among the people that it was very much to my advantage to have used him as my primary language helper. | |||||||||||||

In my study, I maintained a very rigorous schedule, working 9-10 hours a day, doing something in which I took great delight; but I also sought to balance desk work with visiting in the village, affording me opportunities to hear and to speak the language in different contexts. | |||||||||||||

At my desk – the translation was checked periodically by an experienced translation consultant from the Summer Institute of Linguistics. The checking sessions were conducted with a native speaker present, and the consultants concluded that the Zuni translation was of highest quality, in terms of both its faithfulness to the original text and accuracy, communicating the right concepts to native speakers. | |||||||||||||

I spent a only a short time in my translation work with Peter Neha, father of fourteen children. He was kept busy with his livelihood: making adobe bricks (see slides 141-149). (NOTE) Unfortunately, I do not have photographs of several others who helped me with the translation from time to time. Among them, Rex Chimoni, who was native pastor at the Christian Reformed Mission after the passing of Rex Natewa. Mr. Chimoni became a very good friend, and was an excellent language helper. Other helpers were: Arthur and Floyd Owaleon, and Lincoln Harker, Spencer Nashboo, and John Cheama. | |||||||||||||
