Beginning the Mvskoke Language- Nelson Harjo Sr.

Beginning the Mvskoke language is a good starting point for people looking to learn the language of the Muscogee Creek and Seminole people.

College professor, Nelson Harjo Sr, presents this lesson from the Bumpy Brick Sports Bar in Seminole, OK.

My grandmother, Lucy Condren, only spoke Muskogee until she was 5 yrs old.

My husband’s grandmother fought hard along side the elders for the language to be taught and kept alive! 💖 This is wonderful! I really want to teach my daughters their heritage 💖

Hi. I also want to thank you. I just found this today. I am not Native, but I have 2 very good friends who are Creek. I am learning because not only do I legitimately love learning, but I want to surprise them! I have already saved this and plan on playing it back until I master it as best I can!

My dad & uncle's know some words, my grandpa Joe Smith could speak it fluently but unfortunately when he passed away so did the language.. I'm trying to learn my native language so I can pass it to my son's, they as myself owe it to ourselves & our heritage!!

AS for my personal views, its more than a a blessing,
One that dates back to 1888
My father's grandmother,
Loved her so much, unsure there reasons no to pass on this knowledge, Creek and Seminole. I find so many
Family's who language not pass on . As I listen, my thoughts so Grateful ,
Someone listened to there hearts to do this
So many deep thought
Share yet a need to pass on to people even years to come
That feeling a need,
Thanks you for, for giving thought and savings this knowledge

My father used to speak mvskoke to me when i was young im one of a handful of creek in iowa thank you so much

[boomer]

Mvto, it sure helping me remember and refreshing our language to me again. I learned the old language, as my grandpa Newman told me the Old Semvnolē language the long words.
And I sure miss hearing him speak to all his brothers and sister in our language. Growing up listening to them speak it every time they got together I could figure out what they said and I always loved when they change there expression and have the loong ending to the word. Lol
I understand the old language I do have hard time understanding the shorter words idk why. I guess use to hearing old language lol
