(heya friends,)
just returned from two weeks at the Smithsonian collections in DC photographing Wendat and Wyandot artifacts
and archives photographing language material. I have some GREAT photos of early moccasins, but I'm reluctant about putting them online
because of heavy copyright restrictions on OUR OWN THINGS! Seems we get damned anyway the chips fall. I'd like to just let a couple slip
though because they are outstanding examples....but i don't know...

kweh he'eye'an,

yamęnda ⁿde wandat skandare', nęh  ǫndaeˀ yarihǫⁿgyaˀ  ayaéh, nęhša  tiyarehutineˀ  ⁿde  Kǫmahskwemaˀa.

(the words of the wyandot live on and the reason is its waking up,  and also the ceremonial lifeways as our Green Corn.)

it hasn't been common conversational for almost 100 years,but we have alot of material and of course all the sister languages(wendat(huron) and iroquoian)
how about yourself? whats your own nation?

Olanigw (Pekane):
Bah!  I'm not yet fluent enough in Abenaki to work "yamenda" back to proto-algonquin.  Inglismaniwi?  English?

richardzane:
 :)
"yamęnda" is Wyandot for "words"--- the Wendat use "yawenda"

allright
I'm going to let these wyandot moccasins slide in here...not everyone has a chance to hang out two weeks at the National Museum of the American Indian as i did.
BUT If you share these pics ,please make sure to put on each pic. NMAI.CRC  (Nation Museum of the American Indian . Cultural Resources Collection)
if you publish? well you need to get permission from the NMAI.
As far as i'm concerned these are things that belong to the Wyandot people , cultural items.
those who i've talked with who seem to know their stuff say these are likely very early 1800s or late 1700s.
this is the same pucker toe technique i use on mine, but center seams are entirely covered with quill work, loomed quill work, and silk cloth with beads.
