![]() Nake Nula Waun (nah-kay new-la wah-oon): I am always ready Specific time reference: Anpo ki - at dawn Wicokan hiyaye ki - noon, “when the sun is in the middle of the journey” Wimahel iyaye ki - sunset, “when the sun went in” Hancokanyan ki - midnight, “middle of the night” Sunrise, Midday, Sunset, and Midnight are four important times in the day when working with energy and the power that surrounds an individual. Other specific time references occur between these four times. A long time ago, when we did not mark time by the clock, we divided the day into these categories. For us, these times were specific and we knew when to be somewhere. Nake nula waun welo/ksto.. I am always ready.. This is the true “INDIAN TIME”

Can 'nake nula waun welo' be translated as 'i am ready for whatever comes'?
