Awakening Virginia’s Algonquian language
TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO
KEYRIS MANZANARES: Indigenous Peoples have deep ties to William & Mary’s campus. The land was originally claimed by native populations and prior to 1723, Indian boys attended residential school at the college’s Wren Building, and later Brafferton. Now, in a space where Indigenous peoples were stripped of their cultural heritage, including language, this group of women has chosen William & Mary as a meaningful place to meet, to awaken what was once lost.
RAVEN “BRIGHTWATER” CUSTALOW (FOUNDER, EASTERN WOODLAND REVITALIZATION): Unfortunately, through assimilation and genocidal practices, both physical and paper genocide, our people in this area haven’t spoken fluently in at least 200 years, I would say. So, all we have left are a few, maybe a thousand or so words, if that.
KEYRIS MANZANARES: Raven “Brightwater” Custalow grew up on the Mattaponi tribe reservation in King William County. She’s committed to advocating for preserving Indigenous heritage.
RAVEN “BRIGHTWATER” CUSTALOW: I think most of us can probably say, maybe a short introduction… wingapo (hello), (welcome) nitapewak (my friends), kenah (thank you) anah (goodbye), those sort of like basic words that you would use it in like everyday language.
KEYRIS MANZANARES: During meetings, Custalow, along with Diana Gates and Young Brinson, who are cousins from the Cheroenhaka Nottoway tribe, research words and pronunciations as they start trying to put the puzzle of Virginia’s Algonquin language back together.
YOUNG BRINSON (CONSULTANT, EASTERN WOODLAND REVITALIZATION): The culture of Virginia has always been steeped in Algonquin culture and I think that’s why we’ve been led to it. And so, it’s just cool that we are all coming together now to really lift this off the ground and get it started because we’re making moves and I love it.
KEYRIS MANZANARES: The group is in the beginning stages of language revitalization. And while they…

Ann Murphy was found dead in her home in Plymouth in December. The coroner said she died from head trauma and stab wounds.
NANTICOKE, Pa. — State police have charged a son in the homicide of his mother last year in Luzerne County.
Elliot Steed, 36, is being charged with criminal homicide and theft by unlawful taking in the death of his mother, Ann Murphy, 66, at her home on Gardner Street in Plymouth on December 20.
According to court paperwork, Steed’s brother found Murphy dead inside her home and her car missing.
The coroner said Murphy died from stab wounds and head trauma.
After allegedly killing his mother, troopers believe Steed drove his mother’s vehicle more than 100 miles to a hospital in Flemington, New Jersey.
Security at the Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, New Jersey, said a vehicle matching the victim’s missing vehicle description was found in the hospital parking lot.
Raritan Police responded and contacted Wilkes-Barre Police, who advised them of the terrorist threats warrant. Steed was taken into custody in New Jersey. According to the search warrant, Steed was acting erratically and told hospital employees that his family was trying to kill him.
Inside the car, there was a bloody comforter that matched the one from Murphy’s house.
Steed was charged with terrorist threats for allegedly pointing a gun and threatening his girlfriend on December 19. An arrest warrant was issued for that incident. Steed was brought to the Luzerne County Prison on January 4 with bail denied on those charges.
Luzerne County First Assistant District Attorney Tony Ross they are still trying to figure out why Steed killed his mother.
“He’s given some statements candidly. We’re looking at those statements. They don’t make much sense, so we’re continuing the investigation,” Ross…

(March 14, 2024 – New York City, New York, USA) – The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, attended the United Nations 68th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York City, on traditional territory of the Canarsie, Munsee Lenape, and the Wappinger people, as part of the Canadian delegation. The Canadian delegation also included representatives from federal, provincial, and territorial governments, including Minister of Indigenous Services, Patty Hajdu, Minister for Women and Gender Equality, Marci Ien, and Parliamentary Secretary, Lisa Hepfner. The priority theme of the CSW is, “Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective”.
“The empowerment of First Nations women is essential for the overall well-being and prosperity of First Nations communities and society as a whole,” said AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak. “Addressing poverty and its multifaceted affects require not just policy change but also the mobilization of resources. When we finance with a gendered perspective, we’re not just investing in women but in the prosperity of First Nations and the well-being of future generations. That is why we urge governments worldwide to commit to transparent, multi-year funding for programs aimed at supporting our women and communities.”
“I was pleased to share my perspectives as part the productive discussions at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York City. By working together, we can ensure that concrete steps will be taken to address gender inequalities and the unique challenges faced by First Nations women and gender-diverse people and ensure the protection of all women’s and girls’ human rights.”
