In the article i've read about “sharing one skin: by Jennette Armstrong. Jennette Armstrong talks about identity.  She had talked about the Okanagan, which she said means a word for ourselves, meaning “the one who dream and land together.” She had also talked about the four capacities of self,  Which are physical self, emotional self, thinking-intellectual self, and spiritual self. Physical self is like the whole self that depends entirely on the parts of us that exist beyond the skin. She also said we survive by the continuous interaction between our bodies and everything that is around us. Emotional self is about which connects to other parts of our larger selves around us. Thinking- intellectual self is also difficult to translate into english because it does not have an exact correlation which also means you'd have to go into deeper thought and deeper thinking. Spiritual self is a word that relates to the okanagan as a part of being both individual being and of the larger self of which all things are apart. 

In the article Jennette Armstrong she explains about what okanagan means and its meaning of what we are as human beings. From what i have read to physical tie that uniquely human and if the person had done something it will affect the his or her community and family. She also shared the four capacities that make up our identity which are physical self, emotional self. thinking -intellectual self and spiritual self. They all represent us as human beings.

In the article I read about “ how palace names impact the we see landscape” by B. ‘toastie’ oaster. How you would see the world and the environment and your point of view. It also talks about the western landscapes and their meaning and personal memories, ancestral teaching. Also talks about the difference from one place to another place with their navajo ways.  Like cash, cash described a community mind as a “ stable set of the beliefs” which their lives actually echo across the creational realm. Also sacred sites that hold a mythic layer of significance. Colonial place names lack these deep connections and they named things often because of distinct feature of land.
