LOS ANGELES —
Floyd Red Crow Westerman, an American Indian activist, actor and folk singer who appeared in "Dances with Wolves" and performed with Willie Nelson and other musicians, has died. He was 71.


Native Philadelphians like me have our own phylum of animal pronunciations and there’s nothing I can do about it except to respond to “what did you say? by saying the same thing over again.
Like the time I asked a class if they saw the movie ‘Dances with Wuffs.” One high school girl looked at me and asked, “Wuff? What’s a Wuff?”

You know, one wuff-many wuffs?”

“I believe it’s wolves,” she said.
Another time I was telling a joke about the stranded guy in the dessert seeing a mirage that comes into focus .It is Joseph pulling Mary who is riding on a “dunkey” and the punch line is “is your little baby named Jesus “? and Mary says, ”what do you think we are Puerto Rican? “but my Suseex County audience was riveted on “dunkey” like, “what’s a dunkey?”
Go to the philly zoo and many wild animals have the initial short vowel dropped and it needs to be dropped which is why it is short.
The is the draff, the grella, kwalla, tager, lepperd , monky, wail and pola bear. You can buy a bloon and give it to Uncle Cholly.
Your aunt looks like a hippo and "freak you and the Rhino you rode in on." In Philly, the Rhino is beloved and worshiped a sacred cow like your hippo aunt.

Peace
