Welcome to the Defenders of the Covenant blog celebration!Today, I'd like to introduce you to Kwetoo'unuv Walker.
Kwetoo'unuv (pronounced Que-TOO-un-of) is thirty-five years old and a Paiute Indian. He is the leader of the Nengwoonts'eng (meaning, the people) living in hiding from the invaders in the bowels of a coal mine. Today, I asked him to answer a few questions:
Most memorable event? I have two. The first is when Toovuts, the great wolf, appeared to me in the sacred cave when I was twenty. He taught me how to live like my ancestors and hide from the invaders and their watchers. The second is the day I married my wife, Beth. That was also in the sacred cave and Toovuts was present then as well.
Most anticipated event? I will soon become a father for the first time. After so many years, this is truly a miraculous and welcome event.
Favorite book? Books? That's one thing we lack down here in the mine. In place of books, we Nengwoonts'eng tell each other stories. We sing together a lot too. My favorite stories are the ones that my parents used to tell me about Coyote (Soonungwuv).
Hobbies? Hunting, fishing, (these are more survival skills than hobbies), singing, playing my drum, telling stories.
Biggest fear? Losing the Nengwoonts'eng to the watchers. I would do anything to keep my people safe.
Thanks, Kwetoo'unuv!
