These are intentionally provisional, inspired by Anishinaabemowin morphology; please validate and refine with fluent speakers before using in production.

  • Maamawi-gikendaaso-bimaadiziwin
    • Rough sense: “living knowledge together.”
    • For the overall Indigenous-relational deep search skill that gathers and lives with knowledge collectively rather than extracting it.
  • Gikinoo’amaadiwin-mazina’igan-onji-bimaadiziwin
    • Rough sense: “a learning document/book for living well.”
    • For the report/output side of the system where woven stories and accountability are stored as living teachings.
  • Maamawi-onaakonige-bimaadiziwin
    • Rough sense: “we decide/plan together for good life.”
    • For the orchestration pattern or decision-support layer, especially where ceremonial tech or trading decisions are being shaped in a good way.

You could, for instance, name the skill maamawi-gikendaaso-bimaadiziwin, keep indigenous-relational-deep-search as the internal/technical name, and then reserve maamawi-onaakonige-bimaadiziwin for the decision/architecture orchestration subsystem that sits alongside Mino-Miigwewin.
