1/THIS IS GROSS.
This Mvskoke translator is not only incredibly disrespectful it makes a mockery of the bedrock of Mvskoke culture.
Language is important. It holds our stories, our traditional knowledge, our kinship and community. It shouldn't be made into an internet plaything, a stop along the way between the Rocky Horror translator and the anime villain translator.

2/Our stolen Native children had these words beaten out of them at your reeducation camps (federal Indian boarding "schools"). Our Elders held them tightly against their lips for fear that passing them on would make another generation disappear as they'd seen others of their own disappear. We sing them around sacred fires, echoing the harmonies of those that fought so that we could live.

3/This abomination cheerfully offers to translate "normal" language into Mvskoke, as if our beautiful Indigenous languages aren't foundational to our lifeways and connect us to everyone and everything there is. They are heard, understood, and held close by the land your ancestors stole. They exist in a place beyond space and time, more natural than any "normal" language could ever hope to be.

4/That this was created using AI is an additional insult, the use of which flies in the face of the work we do for the coming generations, greedily gobbling up the water we protect, sacrificing ecological conservation at the alter of artificial advancement that will serve no purpose when there is no one left to enjoy it, commodifying artistic creation in service to soulless product stolen from those who would have imbued it with the joy and wonder that can only come from humanity.
