    I’m Ojibway-Cree and I speak my language

    Helicopter in my language is …

    KAH-KEE-NAH-KWA-NAS-KAH-PAH-NIK

    The literal translation is ‘the thing that turns’

    The other word that many older people used is …

    CHEE-KAH-NAH-MOO-SHEESH

    it’s the word in our language for ‘Dragonfly’
