Love of Creek language inspires teacher to share
By KEITH DINWIDDIE / The Norman Transcript
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- In the American Indian language of Creek, the word
mvhayv (pronounced mu-high-ya) means teacher. On the University of
Oklahoma campus, Margaret Mauldin is much more than that.
Mauldin, affectionately known as "Mvhayv" to her students at OU, is one
of the world's foremost authorities on the Creek language. In the fall
of 1995, Mauldin became OU's first Creek language instructor. In her
first semester as a university-level Creek instructor, Mauldin said she
had only limited homemade materials to use.
