Ramapo to Host Flag-Raising Ceremony for Native American Heritage Month – Rockland News – It’s Local that Matters.

Translate »

In North America, linguists generally recognize 58 language families and isolates. Understanding language families is one of the keys to understanding the historical relationships between the Indian groups. The Algonquian language family is a large American Indian language which is found in the Eastern Woodlands, the Plains, and California.

With regard to the history of the Algonquian languages and their spread across North America, some linguists postulate that the Algonquian homeland is on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, the home to the Algonquian-speaking Blackfoot. In his book The Origin of Language: Tracing the Evolution of the Mother Tongue, linguist Merritt Ruhlen writes:

“The initial division in the family left the Proto-Algonquians in place to become the Blackfoot, while the other group spread eastward, initially differentiating into the Algonquian languages found in the Great Plains. These languages then spread farther eastward, with the occupation of the East Coast representing the final movement in the dispersal.”

On the other hand, linguist Ives Goddard, in his chapter on the Algonquian languages of the Plains in the Handbook of North American Indians, writes:

“…the linguistic evidence supports the hypothesis that the Plains Algonquian languages moved westward onto the Plains with their speakers, separating from other Algonquian speakers who remained in the woodlands about the Upper Great Lakes.”

Some of the divisions within the Algonquian language family are briefly described below.

Plains Algonquian

The Plains Algonquian sub-family includes Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Gros Ventre (Atsina), Besawunena, Nawathinehena, and Ha’anahawunena. The last five languages are considered to belong to an Arapahoan sub-group which is distinguished by certain innovations not found in other Algonquian languages. Arapaho, Gros Ventre, and Besawunena are similar enough that their speakers could understand each other with a little practice.

Among the Plains Algonquian languages, there is a…

– To the Traverse City Golf and Country Club’s members, who via their seasonal Eagles for Children fundraiser collected $126,250, which will be given away to 13 regional charities at a banquet on Wednesday. The total is $30,000 more this year than in 2023, said Teri Gorsline, a local Eagles for Children volunteer committee member. All the money goes to nonprofits dedicated to helping disadvantaged local youth.

Eagles for Children is a Michigan-based organization that counts more than 20 participating golf clubs across the state — including in Traverse City — and also in Wisconsin and North Carolina. It has donated more than $6 million to children’s charities since its start in 2012, according to the nonprofit’s website. Participants pledge a minimum of $2 for each time a fellow member scores an eagle on a hole at the club and, as of 2023, the group reports raising more than $1,100 per eagle.

An eagle is a score of two strokes below par on a given hole.

– To Traverse City Central High School’s Grace Cary, who recently announced her commitment to play Division I college softball for the Big Ten Conference’s Ohio State University. Cary is the third Big North Conference high school player to commit to a Power 5 — or major conference — university during the last several years, as reported by Record-Eagle Senior Sports Writer James Cook.

– To Branden Morgan, who retired this week after 27 years as sexton of Oakwood Cemetery in Traverse City. In that time, he’s performed a variety of caretaking tasks, from working a wheelbarrow, to landscaping and preparing sites for burial, and simply being there for those who are grieving, as stated in a Thursday Record-Eagle story by Staff Writer Kathryn Depauw, who covers Indigenous Affairs in partnership with Report for America….

COLONIAL BEACH, Va. —Visit George Washington Birthplace National Monument to learn about and celebrate the rich traditions, languages, and innovations of Indigenous people in the Northern Neck. On Sunday, November 10th, cultural demonstrations will be offered by Tribal representatives and community partners from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Memorial Area of the park.

Lisa Brighteyes Richardson Deresz, MS, OTR/L is a Rappahannock Citizen and a Language Ambassador for the Omisun Project-Powhatan Algonquian Intertribal Roundtable (PAIR). Funded by a grant from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA), the Omisun Project is headed by the Chickahominy Indian Tribe under the advisory of PAIR. Lisa will offer an introduction to Powhatan Algonquian and the Indigenous language revitalization process. Visitors will have an opportunity to hear, and perhaps recognize, Algonquian words that are rooted in Powhatan Algonquian as they discover the original language of this land.

Brad Hatch, Chief Judge on the Patawomeck Tribal Council and master eel pot maker, will be demonstrating the construction of traditional split oak eel traps. He will also have a display of Patawomeck material culture representing the history of his community from thousands of years ago to the present. Once a significant part of Indigenous economies along the Atlantic coast, the craft of eel pot making waned in the twentieth century and the Patawomecks are one of the few tribes that have continued this traditional cultural practice passed down from their ancestors.

Scott Strickland of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Lab will also be on site to demonstrate what archaeologists look for when identifying projectile points (arrowheads) and ceramics from the Chesapeake region. See examples spanning thousands of…

In April of 1832 Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak, the Sauk war chief known to the American settlers as Black Hawk, crossed the Mississippi River into Illinois in order to regain his homeland that he felt was wrongly taken from his people.

A conflict followed these actions that has come to be called the Black Hawk War.

In the early 1800s the Sauk and Meskwaki (commonly referred to as the Fox) often lived in the vicinity of what is now Burlington, Iowa. They called the area Shock-o-con.

In 1820, the Meskwaki Chief Tama (the Man Who Makes the Rocks Tremble) was living near what is now Gladstone, Illinois.

With so many white settlers moving into the vicinity, he decided to move his village across the river to Shock-o-con.

A few years later, Tama moved his village a few miles north to the edge of the prairie near the river.

Tama was not in favor of Black Hawk’s actions and used his great influence to persuade many warriors from joining the Sauk war chief.

His village became a place of rendezvous for many of these young men.

In May of 1832 Chief Tama crossed the river into Illinois to visit his friend, Sumner Phelps, in the village of Yellow Banks, known today by its Indian name – Oquawka.

A historian recorded the events that followed: “Things were in this unsettled state when one night Tama, an aged Fox chief, arrived at the trading house to inquire if his white brother had heard any news from the seat of war.

He was accompanied by his wife and son.

Tama had a town about three miles below the town on the Iowa side.

He had been a great chief and noted scout.

In the war of 1812, he had given valuable assistance to Edwards, then-governor of the Illinois territory, and carried…
