I moved overseas to england which makes it harder to learn this language as online I have trouble finding anything to do with learning algonquian or any other native american languages part of my background. Hopefully you can make cds / books to learn the full language.

I feel that it will be a better place for us and the future generations that have to walk on the earth.
I have wanted to learn the language for a long time, but to hear it said right and to practice speaking is hard , this is a goal for myself for the year 2012 so that I may do the Moon Ceremony is my language.

Comments:I have been a student of the native languages of North America for the past 45 years and I have been shocked at how many have been allowed to fall out of use and become extinct, or nearly so. It gladdens my heart to hear that children are today being taught the Algonquin language so that it may survive.

It is my firm belief that the survival of cultural heritage depends entirely on the survival of native language, so well done to everyone involved and a heartfelt migwetch.

I just, a few days ago, found my Rogers who signed the Pamunkey Indian Petition of 1705 with Queen Ann & John West & others. Our Algonquin language was not passed down to us so we are trying to revive it for our people. We live in southeast Oklahoma so our pronunciation & soelling will be a little differnt then yours. Can you give us some help on this? Thank you John B. Miller sr.

Lyrics to "Grandmaman Savage"

Grandmaman savage,
Where is your montage
of a life lived long ago
with scenes I hardly know?
But I know there was an Indian woman
in my family history
that I hardly know anything about
cause it was hushed - in secrecy!

Where she lived I really do not know,
But this I know is true:
That her ancestry had toiled this land
long before me and you.
So I'm proud of her
and I'm part of her
and I love my ancestry,
And I'll find out more
and I promise you
there'll be no more - secrecy


I was told she wore a long black braid
Like the women of the Algonquin do,
My grandmaman often told my sister about her
And I know this hushed up story is true!

Grandmaman savage,
Where is your montage
of a life lived long ago
with scenes I hardly know?
But I know there was a native woman
in my family history
And I'm proud of her
and I'm part of her
there'll be no more secrecy.
And I'll find out more
and I promise you
there'll be no more - secrecy.

Comments:I am so glad that the children of First Nation at Golden Lake are learning their original language from infancy. My great-grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee and her husband a German immigrant. My grandfather was so ashamed of being "half breed" that he refused to learn or know anything about his Cherokee heritage thus depriving all future generation of the vast richness of our heritage. I feel deprived, not only for myself, but for my own grandchildren. Thank goodness, the wise people of Golden Lake knew not to let that happen to their children. I salute you all! Let the family be always strong and may Love always triumph over all!

I was wondering what the Algonquin word for "lake" is.
The area that the Algonquian family of languages covers an area with the most numerous lakes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algonquian_languages. I found the Ojibwe word - zaaga'igan. I'm not sure if it's a composite of two words ("zaaga" and "igan") or an inseparable word.

Thanks,

My first visit to the Algonquin first nation of Barriere Lake was in August of 2002. My two boys and I came to fish, and while at the Cabonga Resevoir we met Mr. Cory Jerome the constable. I sent about 300 #s of baseball equipment in 2004 to help the girls and boys with baseball. At the time, I spoke with a younger policeman than Cory. He wanted me to send instructions on how to build a baseball field. I never go that done, but I would like to know who the young man was. Now I am working on organizing a nonprofit corporation in hopes that we can help in a more meaningful way. I will ask the leasers at Barriere Lake if I can come in about 2 years. I will have informed them more fully by then on what the nonprofit hopes to accomplish.

Comments:Hi I am looking for my native roots. I am looking for some assistance in this venture.
In 1901, (G) Octave Frappier was 27 years old. He was still single & lived with his Dad, (GG) Theodore Frappier who was 51 years old & his Mom (GG) Rosalie Frappier who was 48 years old. Also in the household was probably Rosalie's little Brother Oscar Despatis who was 6 years old & listed as a student. A few houses away lived Rosalie's parents, (GGG) Louis Despatis who was 77 years old, & (GGG) Cleophee Despatis who was 78 years old. Between these 2 households lived (G) Octave Frappier's younger Sister, Georgiana Bazinet who was 23 years old & married to Maurice Bazinet, 22 years old. They had a Son Theodore who was only 5 months old.
Keep in mind that (GGG) Louis Despatis's name showed up in Madeleine's research as Louis Forget & Cleophee as Marie Cleophee Tremblay & their Daughter as Rosalie Forget-Despatie-Latour & I think that in those days, the Church changed a lot of native names when they baptized them. I phoned Daniel Fortier today to ask him if he had any more info on these ancestors. He was so excited because he had given up on his research & did not know about Louis & Cleophee. I've sent him the link to the genealogy site & the copy of Madeleine's research & gave him all my research. He said that the name Despatis may have been invented to mean "des partis indien" & that names in our ancestry seem to come up as Forget dit Despatis, sometimes spelled Despatie or Depati, etc......(Dit probably stands for demi-indien)
These 3 households were in the District of Russell, Sub-District of Rockland, Ontario, just across the Ottawa River from the Petite Nation Valley & St Andre Avellin. Now that's where (GG) Theodore & (GG) Rosalie were married when they were 21 & 18 years old & they must have lived there in Quebec for a while. That's where their Son (G) Octave was born when she was 21 year old.

By 1911, (GG) Rosalie's parents (GGG) Louis & Cleophee are no longer living in Rockland so they may have died by then. They would have been 88 & 87 so that's quite likely. Oscar who is now 16 years old is living with (GG) Rosalie & (GG) Theodore & he is now listed as adopted. (GG) Octave's Sister Georgiana Bazinet & her husband, Maurice Bazinet are also living with them but their first Son, Theodore is not mentioned so must have died. They have a new Son named Maurice who is 9 years old In the same village of Rockland, (G) Octave Frappier lives with his wife (G) Eleonor Pitre. He's 35 by now & she's 31. They have 3 Daughters, Simone, 5 years old, Laurette, 4, & Cecile, almost 2.
There are many discrepancies in the spelling of these names from one Census to another. Rosalie is changed to Roselie, Theodore to Tador, Despatis to Depatie, Cecile to Cecil , etc. A few birthdates differ also but all in all, meet your ancestors!
Here are all their names & birthdates for your records. Hope you enjoyed my research!
The best part is that I found most of this info on Mom's Birthday, July 22 - she probably has learnt some computer skills up there & was guiding me!!!!!!!

(GGG) Louis Despatis Dec 18, 1824
(GGG) Cleophee Tremblay Feb 7, 1823
(GG) Theodore Frappier March 3,1850
(GG) Rosalie Forget-Despatie-Latour April 25,1853
(G) Octave Frappier Feb 28, 1874 (Sister, Georgiana July 22, 1877)
(G) Eleonore Pitre Feb 11, 1878
Dad Dorima Fortier Jan 28, 1908
Mom Cecile Frappier Jul 22 1909

It's wonderful to see the Algonquin language preserved.
I am an historical researcher and am currently looking for the Algonguin translation of several place names in the Ottawa/Gatineau area.

So far I've found a few but would like verification that my translaation is correct. Would it be possible for someone to check on them for me?

Algonquin name - Meaning
Maniwaki - Mary's place.
Paugin - vale of water
Kazabaua- hidden/disappearing water/land above the water.
Quebec - where the water narrows

Are the names Larimac and Venosta Algonquin words?
If they are do you know what they mean?

Keep up the good work.Your site is marvelous.
One of our ancestors married an Algonquin and another married a Huron.So we always felt a strong kinship to our First Nations people.

Thank you for any assistance that you can give me.

Also it is interesting to read how you manage the harvest's of Moose, Deer and Fish. And it is great that you are teaching the Algonquin language to young and old. It is so sad what has been done many years ago in this regard by the governments of that time. Good to see too that the young people become more interested in their age old culture.
