While Diiawachisshik is not found in the Crow Dictionary, you can explore the word Daásdee and its pronunciation in the Crow Dictionary here.
This week, as we recognize the importance of love and appreciation in many forms, let’s continue to encourage and uplift one another through kindness and connection.
Wishing you all a meaningful and joyful week.
