![]() Sunka: (shoon-kah) General description for all dogs. "Sungmanitu: ''coyote" When you say "sungmanitu tanka" a description of a wolf, we imagine a figure similar to a coyote but much larger. *"Sung" is short for ''Sunka". "Manitu" today is translated as''the wilds" or ''wilderness'' but actually ''manitu" describes an area where there are no human beings. The English translation is misleading.
