Ki and Kin?

In The Enchanted Life  by Sharon Blackie
she discusses how the English language promotes
the idea of hierarchy, objectification and separation with its pronouns.

Serendipitously, thanks to a good friend reminding me
of Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass, 
I came across her article published in Orion magazine
where she discusses the same thing.

I pulled out the pertinent sentences 
to pinpoint a possible solution.
A democratizing of species
through language, you might say.

PS: Ki in Japanese means spirit.  It's pronounced kee.

Rachel's Ki has Potawatomi roots as explained 
in the Orion article linked above. 
I still want to verify how she pronounces it.
