I have enjoyed sharing these stories very much. I am glad you like them, erie dearie. I have one more installment that summarized the journey. I would love to hear what others are thinking about these stories. Any thoughts, questions, discussion?
Meantime, I thought it would be fun to share some pronunciation and meanings for the tribal place names. First, -inong, -kaaning, -waating, -ong, all indicate a place where something or someone is.
