The Hyksos were a group of people who migrated into ancient Egypt from the eastern Mediterranean region around the 17th century BCE. They were likely a mixed group of people, including Semitic-speaking individuals from Western Asia and Hurrian and Kassite people from the area of modern-day Iran.

The Hyksos established their capital at Avaris, in the eastern delta region of Egypt, and began to exert their influence over the northern part of the country. They introduced new military technology, such as the chariot, and they also introduced new cultural and religious practices.

The Hyksos ruled Egypt for about 100 years, during a period known as the Second Intermediate Period. However, they faced increasing resistance from the native Egyptians, who eventually rallied under the leadership of a series of pharaohs from the Theban region in southern Egypt.

The most famous of these pharaohs was Ahmose I, who is credited with launching the successful campaign to expel the Hyksos from Egypt. Ahmose I was able to unite the various factions within Egypt and build a powerful army that was able to defeat the Hyksos in a series of battles. The final battle took place at the city of Avaris, which was the Hyksos capital, and the Egyptians were able to breach the city walls and capture the city.

With the defeat of the Hyksos, Egypt entered the New Kingdom period, which was marked by a renewed sense of national pride and a period of great prosperity and cultural achievement.

The Navajo nation

The Navajo Nation is a Native American territory located in the southwestern United States. It is the largest Native American tribe in the United States and covers over 27,000 square miles across parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Navajo Nation has a population of approximately 350,000 people, making it one of the most populous Native American tribes in the United States.

The Navajo Nation has a unique government structure, with a president, vice president, and tribal council. The tribal council is made up of representatives from each of the tribe's 110 chapters, and they are responsible for making decisions on behalf of the Navajo Nation.

The Navajo people have a rich culture and history, and their language, known as Diné bizaad, is still spoken by many members of the tribe. The Navajo are known for their weaving, pottery, and jewelry-making traditions, as well as their strong connection to the land and their deep respect for nature.

Today, the Navajo Nation is working to promote economic development and preserve its cultural heritage while also dealing with ongoing challenges such as poverty, health issues, and environmental concerns.

The role of the Navajo language in WW2.

The Navajo language played a significant role in World War II as a code language that was used by the United States military. The Navajo Code Talkers were a group of Navajo Native Americans who were recruited by the Marine Corps to serve in the Pacific theater of the war.

The Navajo language was chosen for its complexity and the fact that it was not a written language, making it difficult for the Japanese to decipher. The Code Talkers developed a code based on the Navajo language that was used to transmit confidential messages during the war. The code was so effective that it was never broken by the Japanese.

The Code Talkers were able to transmit messages quickly and accurately, which was crucial in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of the battlefield. Their work played a significant role in the success of many important battles, including the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Despite their contributions, the Code Talkers' role in the war was kept secret for many years after the war ended. It was not until the 1980s that their story began to be widely known, and they were acknowledged for their bravery and service to their country. Today, the Navajo Code Talkers are recognized as a vital part of American military history.

Greetings in Pawnee.

Kíno'owúu? – How are you?

Ráno óhpi? – How is it going?

Kíno'owúu núhkta? – How are you today?

Ráno óhpi núhkta? – How are things today?

Tsa'áwit? – What is your name?

Tsa'áwit áhko? – What is your name again?

Núhkta'aha? – What time is it?

Táh ríhkta'aha? – What day is it?

Kíno'owúu pahka? – How is your health?

Who Are the Pawnee People?

The Pawnee are one of the Indigenous tribes of the Central Plains, historically centered in what is now Nebraska and Kansas. They were a confederacy of related bands, primarily the Chawi, Kitkahahki, Pitahawirata, and Skidi, each with their own ceremonial practices and leadership.

The Pawnee were both agricultural and nomadic, a dual lifestyle that allowed them to thrive for centuries. In the spring and early summer, they cultivated crops such as corn, beans, pumpkins, and squash in permanent village sites. In the late summer and fall, they organized hunting expeditions to follow the buffalo, which were central to their diet, clothing, tools, and spiritual life.

Sharitarish, a respected Pawnee chief

The Pawnee's spiritual beliefs were deeply tied to the stars and natural cycles. They conducted elaborate ceremonies to honor the Creator, the Evening Star, the Morning Star, and other celestial beings. These observances often dictated planting times, hunting seasons, and social duties.

Sadly, the 19th century brought devastating change. Epidemics of smallpox and cholera, combined with pressure from American expansion and intertribal conflict, drastically reduced the Pawnee population. By the late 1800s, they were forced onto a reservation in present-day Oklahoma.

Today, the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma is a federally recognized tribe. Through language programs, cultural revitalization efforts, and intergenerational storytelling, the Pawnee continue to celebrate their identity, resilience, and heritage.

The Pawnee Language in The Revenant

Language plays a key role in cultural survival and visibility. In the 2015 Oscar-winning film The Revenant, viewers are introduced to a Pawnee character who speaks his native language. These moments are more than artistic flourishes—they’re acts of representation and reclamation.

The film's producers worked closely with Pawnee language consultants to ensure authentic usage. Each phrase spoken reflects accurate pronunciation and contextual meaning. By including Pawnee dialogue, the film brings historical realism to life while raising awareness about a language at risk of fading away.

This collaboration between Hollywood and Indigenous communities demonstrates the importance of respectful storytelling. It also shows how modern media can be used as a platform to educate global audiences about Native American languages and the cultures they represent.

Whether through cinema, educational programs, or community efforts, each step toward language revitalization brings us closer to preserving the voices of the past for generations to come.

Eating out (Albanian podcast)

 

Albanian

Të ngrënit jashtë është një traditë e rëndësishme në kulturën shqiptare. Restorantet dhe lokalitetet e tjera të ushqimit janë të shumtë dhe ofrojnë një gamë të gjerë ushqimesh, duke përfshirë pjata tradicionale shqiptare si byrek, tave kosi, fasule, dhe gjellë të ndryshme me mish. 

Nëse doni të provoni ushqime të reja, mund të provoni ushqime të ndryshme rajonale si të tjerët që mund t'ju japin një shije të ndryshme.Në restorante, shërbimi i zakonshëm është që të porositni një parashutë të vogël ushqimi si përshëndetje përpara se të porosisni ushqimin kryesor.

Zakonisht, një kafe ose çaj gjithashtu ofrohet si pjesë e parashutës. Nëse doni të shijoni një verë, kërkoni një listë verërash nga stafi i restoranit. Në fund të vaktit, mund të paguani faturën në krahun e kasës dhe të lini një bakshish nëse dëshironi.

English:

Eating out is an important tradition in Albanian culture. Restaurants and other food establishments are plentiful and offer a wide range of dishes, including traditional Albanian dishes such as byrek, tave kosi, beans, and various meat dishes. If you want to try new foods, you can sample different regional dishes that may give you a different taste.

In restaurants, it is customary to order a small appetizer as a greeting before ordering the main course. Usually, a coffee or tea is also offered as part of the appetizer. If you want to enjoy a wine, ask for a wine list from the restaurant staff. At the end of the meal, you can pay the bill at the cash register and leave a tip if you wish.

 

I lost my wallet! (Albanian).

 

Person 1: Shkëlqim, ke ndonjëherë humbur qesën tënde? (Shkelqim, have you ever lost your wallet?)

Person 1: A vura re kur e humbe? (Did you notice when you lost it?)

Person 2: Jo, mendoj se e kam lëshuar nga xhepi kur po nxirrja telefonin. (No, I think I dropped it from my pocket when I was taking out my phone.)

Person 1: Ah, po ashtu mu ndodh njëherësh. Por ai që ia gjen qesën, i jep atë pikërisht te policia. (Ah, it happens to me sometimes too. But whoever finds the wallet, gives it to the police.)

Person 2: Po besoj se policia mund ta kthejë atë në vend. (Yes, I believe the police can return it to its owner.)

Person 1: Po, është e vërtetë. Prandaj, mos u shqetëso shumë. Mos harro, nuk e shikon sa të mirë është koha deri sa ke humbur qesën. (Yes, it's true. So don't worry too much. And remember, you don't see how good time is until you lose your wallet.)

Person 2: Faleminderit, Shkëlqim. E ke të drejtë. (Thank you, Shkelqim. You're right.)

A new day starts! Albanian podcast

 

Në mëngjes, zëri i alarmit më ndërpre gjumin dhe më bën të hap sytë. E ndjej trupin tim të lodhur, por e di që duhet të ngritem. Gradualisht, ngadalë ngadalë, ngritem nga shtrati dhe ndjej sikur koha po i bie në vesh. 

In the morning, the sound of the alarm interrups my sleep and makes me open my eyes. I feel my body tired, but I know I have to get up. Gradually, slowly, I get out of bed and feel like time is running out.

Duke u rregulluar, po mendoj për gjithçka që duhet të bëj, për të filluar një ditë të re. Kthehem nga shtrati dhe shoh dritën e diellit që hyri në dhomën time. Është një moment i bukur dhe më bën të ndjehem të gatshëm për të dalë nga shtëpia dhe për të ndërmarrë sfidat e ditës.

Getting ready, I'm thinking about everything I need to do, to start a new day. I turn from the bed and see the sunlight that entered my room. It's a nice moment and it makes me feel ready to get out of home and take on the challenges of the day.
