So
What's in a name?
I teach from what I
have learned from my elders
while growing within the family meetings.
People from many
tribes all alone this
Whiteman's Canadian/USA Border,
came to teach at most of
these meetings.
Welcome to the
visitor from Swedesboro
I know that you know
about your state,
this is for our followers.
To one of our
posting about our people.
Out of loving
respect.

Once again, I am
pleased to see a visit to a posting on one of our blogs.
This gives me the
opportunity to address the post.
While our people,
The Moiigans came from the USA side of the Great Lakes.
The Mohawk's came
from the Canadian side of the Great Lakes.
Remember, no
'Whiteman's border'.
As years passed,
people mingled and married.
So, many of the
Mohawks, became family members.
However, as my
teacher
(some were Mohawks),
Taught that their
people
(the Mohawk and
Mohican),
were of the
Canadian
Abenaki tribes.
And
The Moiigans and
Mohegan's
were of the
USA Algonquian Tribes.
My time in the
school at these meetings
only started from the beginning of the 1940's
on and
even to this today.
So I teach because
of the ancestors.
Abenaki and
Algonquian are a language of the people.
P.S.
Wabanaki is a tribe.
Tribes of the
Wabanaki
