Amerind Language...Lesson Time....oh, friggin' yay...

Okey Dokey....as some might remember, I am one quarter Peskotomahkati Indian....a Tribe of good repute...and as luck would have it for me, Wollf...one of the few Tribes that does not believe in "gambling"........oh my.

My Grandfather, Clarence was a strong influence on my Spirit....my Sire was busy doing what Fathers of the day did....Providing. He was a bit more recalcitrant than Grandfather.....no feelings of a negative nature directed at the Sar'major....it was simply the way of the times.....

Anyway....my Amerind Totem is the Wolf....in the language of the "People of the Dawn", Malsom.....it says a lot about me....and my younger Brother, also a Malsom. We are Social to the n'th degree when "necessary", but we are very, very more comfortable in our "Pack".......

We are both Mates for life sorts of Men. We are there for our Own...be they adopted or Blood....the Totem choice for both of us was quite appropriate. We are gentle Men, by and large, but we both have an ability for.....well, this isn't about Malsom.

Look it up if you wish....

So......the point.....My youngest, Lil'Wolfie is turning eleven in August....time to solidify his particular Animal Guide according to the Ancients....and in so doing, it will be incumbent upon me to refer to both he and his Brother, "Bigger", by their proper titles.....

Bigger is easy....his Totem is Bear.....

Muwin is the easiest pronunciation.....strong, gentle....Brave and self assured..

The She-cub has always been Deer.....

Ohtuk....graceful, fast....shy...

Lil"?.....I'm still fighting with my feelings on this, and I have little time....my "ego" tells me, because he has been described as my clone in appearance and demeanor to give him the gift of Malsom.....but....there is a little bit of
Raccoon in him....

Espons.....a valiant creature who uses his wits to achieve his goals.....

Hmmm....I have a lot to ponder, and I have to remove my own thought from the process. Anyone have any ideas?

Oh....and my Dragn? No question in my Soul at all....and no, I won't be so easy as to go with Qaqsoss.....the Fox....even though it might gain me some points.....Nope, she is definitely one of the rare.......


Kcikakak.....the Raven.....the Teacher.......She who Understands.....

Wish me luck.....My Journey is becoming exciting......

Malsom needs a bit of the Wolf Pack's perspective......

I will elaborate on the qualities and frailties of the Totems if there seems to be any interest. This was simply on my Heart tonite.......
