name

How do you pronounce her name? Like "Ha-cho"?

You know, that's a good question. Most Harjos in my family say it like in English, "Har Joe". Really, the word in Creek is Haco, which might be pronounced Hacho or Hajo. Apparently a regional dialect variation in our language is to slip in a few phantom w's and r's in certain words. For example, I've heard cēpvnē, boy, pronounced like "chewbon" instead of "jeebanee" (by my Uncle Sonny). There is, technically, no Enlish "R" in Creek--that character represents the sound "thl"--but, nevertheless, I've heard it creep in on the ends of vowels. So the answer, to cut to it, is that it is probably "Har Joe", but I'd like independent confirmation of that. I've emailed her website on another matter, but have not heard back yet. -- Bruce H.

She pronounces her name "Harjo" (HAR-joe), as does Suzan Shown Harjo, Ben Harjo, Sharon Ahtone Harjo, etc. To hear her own voice, this video begins with her introducing herself and also explaining how her name came from Hacho: Youtube: Joy Harjo on Jim Lehrer -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:13, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]
The link to the interview with Jim Lehrer doesn't work. Here's a link to the PBS site. The video doesn't seem to work, but there is a transcript.

queer

is she not queer? and if she is, why is this not mentioned?

^To the above,

Joy Harjo is currently married and in a heterosexual relationship, if your query is regarding her sexuality. This very fact is not mentioned in her article because it is neither note worthy or relevant. I suppose literary contributions to works with homosexual themes fueled your incorrect and offensive assumption, but this is not the case. Further, queer is typically understood and absorbed as a pejorative term. The terms homosexual or gay would be more appropriate and more widely accessible in this encyclopedic setting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakemcsparin (talkcontribs) 06:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Editing to improve language and coherence

I have done extensive copy editing to try to improve the English and style of this article throughout. I deleted sections that seem too "peacock" (she received many awards, etc., she is highly praised, highly thought of - give facts and cites.)Parkwells (talk) 18:48, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Use of sources

While there are academic sources appearing at the bottom of the article, many cites refer to unsubstantiated blogs (some of which do not have a high quality of writing, so give readers little reason to rely on them) and Harjo's own website, a practice that is discouraged by Wikipedia MOS. Editors should concentrate on using Reliable Sources, preferably academic and mainstream journals and media.Parkwells (talk) 18:48, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
