Any native American experts around?
« on: May 18, 2023, 06:22:45 PM »
We all know that BOB (which I just finished rewatching today) regards 'curahee' as 'we stand alone together'.  I got a feeling that's a bit of a bastardization of the actual phrase. 

That said I'm thinking of getting my ink touched up and am considering having 'I stand alone' witht he correct pronunciation in it.  Some research as been anecdotal but so far I've found that u-wasa ga-dogi, is, maybe, Cherokee for 'I stand alone' which is what I want. 

Can anybody back me up here?

You're going to get a tattoo that says "I stand alone" and you're looking for someone to back you up here?  Kinda negates the point doesn't it?
