What is a Shechaim
Because of so many people,
places, and things using an ancient Algonquian word and using it incorrectly, and
after many months of prayer I must now violate a long standing commitment to
the elders only with permission of the ancestors, the correct spelling of a
royal name well known as Sachem Uncas is better known to my people as (
She-Chaim Unkas).
sachem on Line, sachem school,
sagamore, sachem Inc, chief, sachem ny patch, narragansett sachem, sachem yacht
club, sachem east, sachem community and on and on?
Many of you have seen or heard about a fictional film from a
fictional book written about the so called French/Indian War, written by one of
my relations and the grandson of a royal family member, "The Last of the
Mohicans"?
As you know I have slammed this book/movie/ many times because of
the many inaccurate insinuations and liberties taken throughout the book and
the film.
What you do not know is a little known fact conveniently placed
toward the ending, as in the real name for our royal leaders throughout the
Eastern parts of Indian country?
Sachem or correctly pronounced as ( She-Chaim) Tamenund, the
Delaware Tribal Supreme Leader at the time of the French/Indian War (correctly
known to my people as the English/French War on our land).
Every known true traditional tribe throughout the east side of
the Mississippi should have known about this inaccurate spelling by the English
and my ancestors have grown tired of the wait for their correction?
Also of interest in today's society is the right and left hands
of this She-Chaim.
Sa´chem`dum~ The jurisdiction of a Sachem ( She-Chaim) in other
words any counsel such as Clans, Chiefs, Warrior, and Elders.
Side note of interest, the first time a friend (Shawnee mixed)
asked for me to sit to watch this film on TV, when it came to the leader of the
great tribe of the Delaware, she stopped, reversed the film and questioned the pronunciation,
why couldn't the leaders of so many modern 'nations' do the same?
