Title: Where Am I from in Kmt?-gctid39570
Post by: donnabarlow on May 21, 2010, 05:00 PM
Can anyone tell me how I can go about finding where I am from in Kmt. I would like to know so I can learn my language. Hopefully it is one of the ones on this sight. I know there are lots of different languages and dialects, but I am personal to learning my clans language if I can get to the knowing of where I am from. I don't trust the american advertisements or sights on the internet. Please.. any information would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I think this question is related to the one you asked in another thread about which Kmtyw language you should start to learn. There are a number of possible ways to go about finding which Kmtyw group(s) you are affiliated with, for example you may choose to carry out dna tests to find out which haplogroups you carry. You may also choose to speak with family about your ancestral history.

Equally important (I think) is to ascertain which aspects of Kmtyw tradition(s) and culture(s) you resonate with, so that even if you discover that you have a number of lines of Kmtyw dna (with their respective heritage ties), you may choose to focus on particular aspects of Kmtyw languages and/or cultures, while possibly still being interested in wider aspects of Kmtyw-related learning.

We are each at different points in our processes toward re-Kmtywization, which itself can be seen as a life-long endeavour. It is up to each to do much of the work, but as we are a community, we also sometimes help each other. Hopefully you will be able to find what you need to continue on the journey.
