Hi Wahéhshon. One of the publishers I work with has a book entitled “Sky Walker: Tehawennihàrhos.” And we are trying to get it narrated as an accessible audiobook. There are many Mohawk words and especially names in the book for which we need help with the pronunciations. The author has Mohawk ancestry, but isn’t familiar enough with the spoken language. I wonder if you have any contacts that might help with the pronunciations of the Mohawk words?
Could you please tell me how to pronounce this word? Is it a Mohawk word?
