"Coming up, you're gonna see the word "Tóta" a bunch of times. When you do, please know it's not some cutism like Nana or Gammy or Pop-Pop; it's the Mohawk word -- or rather, the Kanien'kéha word -- for "grandparent." No particular gender because we're all evolved and shit, innit. Kanien'kéha won't be italicized because it's not a foreign language (although I hear we're calling that practice linguistic gatekeeping nowadays, which feels right to me); it's one of this land's many original languages."
