No, they won't learn what we use in the tongue. What we are using in the names and how it's connecting into the songs and onto the land, you know? It's really hard. But, you know, yidaki, you can blow it, and you can make it sound from your breath, and then your tongues. And you know, whenever the stepping sticks stop, you can completely stop. But for manikay (singing), it's completely different.
