Adopt us! Any of us!
A dear friend to the Vahana Goats, Corinne Sveinbjornson, was inspired in 2018 and approached us with this idea: she offered Vahana $50 to name the first babies that were born in 2018 and then she did it again in 2019. And Goat Fun Me was born!

The $50 goes to the health care of the Vahana Herd.

Old goats, young goats, adopt any of them and become "Part of the Herd."
The 2020 babies are starting to come! And this year is a "C" year, so if you have a loved one's name that starts with C you can choose in your adoption or you can choose from the list of names below. One of our interests is the local Ktunaxa language. Many of the 2018 and 2019 babies that were born were named Ktunaxa words so that we could practice speaking the language, and here is a list of Ktunaxa words to choose from for 2020. ȼaʾȼa- doll made of grass ȼ̓iqu To float swiftly ȼahaǂ - grass, hay ȼihaǂ - heavy growth of hay ȼ̓uxuna - ants ȼaqa- kinnickinnick berry ȼaqawuʾk - kinnickinnick ȼaqahak - end of a long narrow valley, (Fernie, BC) ȼaǂ - to be small ȼik̓ku - robin ȼilnuhus - starry night ȼilq̓un - ȼinqamik-to bear down in childbirth ȼi·katiǂik - to check on one’s horse ȼumni·xu - ȼit̓nana - puppy colt pussywillow ȼi·kat - to observe ȼikatik - to look at one self in the mirror ȼmakki - to tell the truth ȼumuk - water to bubble out of the ground ȼuq̓kuna - stinging nettle ȼupȼi - gypsy ȼ̓iǂup̓ - kingbird Check out the Ktunaxa Dictionary or check out Firstvoices.com for more words and pronunciations.
